A girl's feet were cut off Thursday when a free-fall thrill ride malfunctioned at the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Amusement Park in Louisville, Kentucky, police said. A cord wrapped around the 16-year-old's feet and severed them at her ankles while she was on the "Superman Tower of Power," a police dispatcher said. The girl was taken to a local hospital.

I seen the car go up. Then, like, the cable broke, I heard -- pwchh -- and I heard a lot of people screaming

The triumph of mountaineer Mark Inglis, who last week became the first double amputee to climb Everest, has been soured by the news he left a dying climber to his fate. Ethicist Daniel Sokol asks whether he was right to do so.

That photo is just striking.

April 5, 2006 Karl is a double amputee, but not by accident, birth or disease. He is an amputee by choice.

What is up with all of this amputee madness?
