Man's hand pulled off during tug-of-war.

This is why I hate the beach.
A Chinese man lost his hand when it was ripped off at the wrist during a tug-of-war contest.

The 30-year-old man joined the beach contest and with five of his colleagues and took the back position. To stabilize himself, he wrapped the rope around his wrist and threw the loose end over his shoulder.

It was going to be a tie but then people in the audience rushed out to help both sides so there'd be a winner.

"I called on people to stop but my voice was too quiet to be noticed," the man said.

The competition stopped when people noticed the man's injury.

The man's hand was reattached in a five hour operation but doctors warn it will be a few days before they know if the surgery was successful.
