I want my MC to lose his left hand during the climax of my story. However, I'm not sure what the best way to do this would be. At the moment, he's hanging upside down out the back of a moving semi trailer. I was thinking about having his hand get caught in something under the trailer, but I'm not sure if there is anything actually under there, or if I would have to make it up. Making something up and placing it there wouldn't be a problem, since the trailer underwent some pretty drastic remodeling to strengthen it.
Another question I have is: if his hand gets mangled beyond repair or saving, what are some medical problems he may run into? I just want him to lose the hand with as few long term effects as possible. Would it be best to have it mangled and then removed in a hospital, or to have the machinery just yank the thing off?
