I'm probably giving myself away but, i'm thinking more along the lines of fire. I really can't write gore without it sounding incredibly stupid, and I don't really see the appeal in everyone losing an arm.

By this point I think part of the problem is SAW literally became known for being the series with the gore and guts. So, a number of people probably know it just for that. And a lot of the trap examples? Were geared towards that gore audience.

As opposed to say, Matthews' test which was literally to sit and talk to Jigsaw for an extended period of time.
