ironic thread title is ironic. ;)

Almost goes along the same lines as Boy Trapped In Refrigerator, Eats Own Foot...

What type of work does one do in Austria that would cause you to cut off your foot?

Only logical thing I can think of is that he was already a bear-trap tester and he thought it was inevitable that it was going to happen. Or not.

"Hello, I'd like to play a game. Up until now, you have spent your life among the unemployed, doing whatever you can to avoid joining the work force. Society would call you lazy. I call you unworthy of the life you possess, the life you have been given. Now you must search deep inside yourself and see just how willing you are to avoid working like the rest of us. The device I have assembled will kill you in a manner more gruesome than you can imagine. The only way you can escape this is by sawing off your foot. Live or die, make your choice."
