Hmmm....I realize that realism is a highly subjective concept, but I would think 
that it would be quite realistic for an unskilled weilder to lose an appendage 
while whipping around a lightsaber. :-)  It certainly seems more believable than 
that same unskilled weilder deflecting blaster bolts back at an attacker...but 
maybe they are just strong in the force.  :-)
