...Why did she chop his hand off instead of........

When that dumb sherrif is dangling by the hand cuffs to sarah and the black cop lady uses the climbing pick axe to chop his hand off using MANY, ridiculiously over exagerated hits, why didnt she just aim for the chain for the cuffs? I mean um HELLO with a 200 pd plus man dangling off a little handcuff chain, it would taken 1 maybe 2 good racks to weaken 1 or 2 links and it woulda snapped.. instead the women tend to screw each over whenever they can it seems in these movies.....

Ultimately this movie taught me never to be in a life and death situation with a woman, especially one who's willing to commit monsterous acts just to 'survive'.....personally I think every woman in this movie (character wise) should be euthanized.
