And:
"Dismemberment: If injury to a body part before applying the above limit was at least twice what was needed to cripple it, the body part is not just crippled but destroyed. A cutting attack or explosion severs a limb or extremity; otherwise, it’s irrevocably crushed, burned, etc."
So ... Assuming HP 10, a cutting attack that does 10 injury to a limb severs it. 6 or 8 (depending on how one rounds) injury will sever hands and whatnot. Cutting someone in half is an forced death check failure thing and only happens at -(HP * 5). (-50 HP assuming HP 10, for a total of 60 injury inflicted.)

Note that it is 2x what is needed to cripple. Crippling a HP 10 humans arm requires 6 points of injury ("over HP/2"), not 5. Cutting it off or otherwise destroying it thus takes 12 points of injury, not 10.
