Yeah, 'cuz you might lose your hand to injury, but if the fingers are intact they could attach them to your wrist.
(My brain works weirdly at times, but you all know that....)
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I remember loving how they explain over and over that you can only get paid for one dismemberment per limb, i.e., if you get the payout for the hand, you do not get payouts for all five fingers too.
At least they pay for the costliest--er--member.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"I'm sorry, we have to refuse your claim."
"But I lost a hand!"
"You might be confusing your policy with our accidental death or dismemberment coverage."

What happens if you lose a finger or two, and then later lose the whole hand? When you get the hand payout, do they subtract what you already got for the fingers?
Actually, it seems to me they should do the deduction, but it'd amuse me if the rules were that specific.

Also, if you lose a bunch of fingers, but then doctors remove a toe or two and use them to replace missing fingers....
Or what happens if you lose a pinkie, but then a top-secret government program gives you a bionic pinkie?

It's sorta like the original ROTJedi Ewok playset. It had that little elevator that you could wind up and down. If you lose the whole playset you technically could still keep the elevator but wouldn't have much use for it.

My favorite part in the policies I've had is the formulas for how much dismemberment = death, in terms of payout. One hand and one foot = death. One foot and the sight in one eye = death.

wait... huh?
Oh and does this also mean someone with one eye and one foot no longer has a soul financially?
