A common myth says cutting the heel—specifically the Achilles tendon—can make someone collapse instantly. But is that true?
🔪 Reality:
Severing the Achilles tendon causes severe pain and immediate loss of mobility in the affected leg. The person won’t be able to stand, run, or walk properly. It’s disabling, yes—but not fatal or instantly incapacitating.
🧠 Important:
- It does not affect the brain, major arteries, or vital organs.
- The person remains conscious and may still resist or escape by crawling or with support.
✅ Conclusion:
A cut to the Achilles heel may take away mobility, but not the fight. It’s a strategic injury—not an instant takedown.
