I was gonna mention that flexible/stretchy or not, Wilt still has bones, so that means that his entire muscular-skeletal system is basically identical to ours. Bloo clearly states that Wilt had to have a specific broken bone X-rayed and put in a cast by a doctor, and that the doctor said he'd probably be able to take the cast off in six weeks, which is now long it normally takes a human bone fracture(unless it's really bad, or there are complications, like infection)to heal. If Wilt could not put that particular extremety in a cast himself, he surely couldn't amputate his own arm! It also shows that there was nothing "magical" about how Wilt lost that left arm following his injury in Good Wilt Hunting; it did not just "fall off" or disappear, and those suture scars show up on the distal end, as has been suggested. While Wilt might indeed push the limits of being "double-jointed", we are certainly meant to understand that he is comprised of the same sort of biological tissue that we are, and can suffer the same sort of injuries.
Oy, that last one, though-that's probably gonna trouble him more in the long run than the arm and eye!
