A farmer in Nebraska amputated his own leg with a pocket knife after it became caught in a corn hopper.
Kurt Kaser, 63, became stuck in the machine at his farm in Pender. Nobody else was home, or due back for several hours, and the hopper began to pull him further inside.
After trying and failing to free himself, he decided to chop off his leg - spending about five minutes sawing away at his own flesh, reports NBC News.

Ouch
If knives were banned where he lives he'd be dead.
Bless his heart. What a tough decision to have to make. He's a brave soul.
