depending on the situation and what kind of person you are. There are ladies that have lifted cars from adrenaline rushes, I am sure given a similar rush, you could rip someone's arm off relatively easily

We should do an "ARFCOM MYTHBUSTERS".
But, instead of fabricating dummys to test, we just actually kidnap someone and experiment on them. Most people have two arms, so two tests per victi....uh... test subject. Let's say 6 tests for a good base. |

If it's worth ripping their arm off, it's worth shooting them.

You do realize that bone is not the only thing connecting the arm to the shoulder right? There is also a significant amount of muscle, cartilage, tendons, etc that hold the arm together. In fact, separating the bone from the shoulder would actually be the easiest part I think. I really don't think its possible to simply rip someones arm off, unless you are some gigantic hulk. |

It would be very difficult, if not impossible. I've seen them torn off by motorcycles & car wrecks, industrial machinery, etc.
ZootTX hit it on the head. The shoulder joint actually is held together by a tough mess of ligaments, muscles, and tendons. If you had a chainsaw, no problem. Barehanded? I have a hard time believing it. |

Hard to say, but I remember laughing my ass off when my TI said that to the guy in front of me. Laughing was not the right thing to do because the TI then proceeded to ream me a new one.

Depends on how muscular the person is that your ripping the arm off of. I'd say probably pretty hard. Have you ever tried ripping a steak apart from each end
 maybe a couple times harder than that, also have to factor in the ripping of the leathery streangth of the skin.

yeah but if you had them laying on the ground, put your feet on top and bottom of their arm. bent over and stretched with all your strength in your legs and back and arms. |

Well now that I'm thinking about it more, probably just straight pulling on the broken arm probably would be quite hard if not impossible.
However how about just twisting it around probably easier to tear it off like that right? Thats how crocs tear flesh off thier prey. |

The first time was a bitch. Like any learned process, I got better the more I did it. Disjointing the shoulder is easy. The connective tissue is the difficult part.
Now, ripping off their head and crapping down their neck? That's tough! |

This guy could do it, but he'd be more likely to run around the yard with it, after he ripped it off.

It depends.....................are they still alive or dead? I think I might have a problem with somebody trying to remove my arm. Yes, I would definitely have to put up a fight. |

Chuck Norris once ripped off his own arm and beat an annoying old hag to death with it.
Then he used her guts to sew his arm back on. |

A chimp could do it. A 165 pound female was tested on a static pull while she was enraged. Her one-armed pull registered 3,500 pounds.

+1 During Gross Anatomy we took the whole body apart. The shoulder joint is held together very well with ligaments and tendons. It would be very difficult to 'rip' off. The joint is easily dislocated but that is a far cry from ripping the arm 'off'. You also have the skin to contend with. You would have better luck trying to twist it off, but even then you would need a significant size discrepancy ie. OJ Simpson vs. a toddler. We had a bitch of a time getting the hip joint out because of its ball-and-socket configuration. I remember pounding away with a hammer trying to 'pop' it out. |

are you specifically saying O.J. because he's black? like black people are more likely to attack toddlers? |

+1 Best answer, and it would probably be substantially easier than sticking your boot up their ass. Your best bet is to twist while simultaniously tearing with your teeth. Use of fire and / or caustic chemicals tends to soften the connective tissues as well. Good luck. |

O.J. Simpson's black? I thought he was Samoan. In any case, I was using him as an example of someone who possesses enough strength to twist off a child's arm. I could have used my brother George as an example but you don't know him.
