i wonder if i could kill one of those with fuckers a headlock


I was actually wondering the same thing since I've been training in jiu jistu and wrestling for a while now buti after some thought I realized this would be impossible. A chimp would most likely bite the fuck out of my forearm or bicep if I tried to get it in a rear naked choke. Maybe all of the adrenaline would make it possible but I'm really not confident that I'd be able to do much of anything.

dunno , if you supposedly had him in a headlock, i don't see how he would be able to bite you since your arm would be below his chin and his face wouldn't be able to move at all, he would be trapped. Maybe he'd still be able to punch you in the face/back tho

You wouldn't be able to take the flailing arms. An elbow to the chest would probably knock you over.

Getting a chimp into a headlock? XD

Funny mental image but I am sure he would probably break all the bones in your arms before that happens...

This is such a sad story. If you read the whole article, apparently the chimp was a famous performer, behaving almost as if he was human. To add to this, on the day of the incident, he took the house keys and unlocked the door to let himself out.

With this background, it's not just a random chimp that mauled someone. It's more like seeing a person go crazy/delusional and attack his friends with a knife.

I'll take the risk of sounding ignorant.

Chimpanzees are no Gorillas , they may have 5x the strengh of a male, but when you have him in a headlock its a matter of resistance and time till he eventually dies.
there are lots of stories about people in perilous situations who suddenly have super-human strength when Adrenaline kicks in, your state of mind changes completely , you wouldn't even notice you broke your bones till after all ends. they lift cars, giant boulders to rescue themselves or other people.

that is true a guy on my HS football team broke his tiba in the leg and played the whole damn game on it. Its crazy what you can do when your pumped up on adrenaline and red bull
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

The 5x strenght is misleading, that is prensile strenght only.

For example a chimpancee cannot benchpress 500% what a human can, actually a trained fighter could beat a chimpancee if the chimpancee had its mouth restrained, not in force obv but we are much more efficient fighters and he could probably knock the chimp out.

True, but how do you know chimpanzees don't have an extra adrenaline kick in as well? Just in normal activity, their arm strength is 5x stronger than an equivalent fit human male. I think their bones are a lot more dense as well. One inadvertent elbows/fist to any point on your body could cause serious injury.

"An experiment conducted in the Bronx Zoo in 1924 compared the strength of a 165-pound adult man, and a 165-pound male chimp named "Boma", and a 135-pound female chimp named "Suzette".
They compared how much weight the human could pull with one arm to that of the apes, the adult man managed to pull 200 pound before reaching his maximum. The male chimp, on the other hand, pulled 847 pounds of weight with one arm, and the female chimpanzee 1,260 pounds."

That's friggin mind blowing. I guess it makes sense. Climbing trees takes enough arm strength, but flinging yourself from branch to branch is a whole nother ball game
