Man chews off arm to escape trap

OK, not really .

An Aspen mountaineer who was pinned by a nearly 1,000-pound boulder for five days in a remote slot canyon in eastern Utah cut off his arm with a pocketknife, rappelled down a rock wall and hiked until he was found by a search helicopter Thursday afternoon.

Damn.

(Thanks, Geoff!)
