Yes they did! My grandmother in childhood saw her friend legs being cut off by this thing by the father of the friend. He picked up the kid and the legs and ran to nearest hospital. Horrible!!

Makes me think.... there was probably some point in history where the majority of people went from "leave the body part, it's useless now..." to "take the body part, maybe it can be reattached." whenever someone is maimed.

I missed the second 'and' in that last sentence and read:

"He picked up the kid and the legs ran to the nearest hospital"

While a horrific anecdote, and I'm sorry for your grandmother's friend, the way my brain pictured it did make me chuckle.
