Read these accounts of Notable Climbing Accidents, particularly the ones where the climber cut his own arm off to save himself, and where one climber cut the rope that was holding his partner.
What would you have done in those two situations? Why?

well in the first situation i would have cut my own arm off in order to save myself because in the beginning i said that i would reach the top of Everest and if my arm where to be cut off i would do that because I’m a type of person who says things and do it. nothing is going to be in my way of doing that.
if i where to cut off the rope that my partner was on i wouldn’t cut off the rope because in my family we have a rule my dad said it to all of my siblings and that was no man gets left behind. i would cut the rope off but at the same time i would go down with my partner just so that i wouldn’t get blamed on
