In game, we have only categories for weapons signified by color. So trapping a blue weapon is out, cause it would open the door to such actions on bladed weapons as well. Also, trapping weapons could damage the weapons. So the reason you cant is strait up Playability. Don't feel bad though, realism dictates the opposite.
Peace!
<<<<im sorry, im sure the answer is somewhere in their..but im a little grammatically challenged (stupied), so i'm having a hard time trying to understand what you wrote. can he legally trap the club between his side and arm with out dieing/losing a limb or not?
<<<<For a while I would simply answer such questions with a quick yes/no. It might be time to go back to that, yes?
<<<<No don't! I personally like a good, thorough explanation. Other people got it..I think. I'm just not good with reading, overall
<<<<Nope, you get yes/no from now on. This way your ability to read is no longer in question.
NO!

Blades include not only all striking surfaces, but the flats of swords and the backs of single-edged weapons. Additionally, the "point" of the spear includes the whole spearhead (the poofy area), not just the tip.
Additionally, if you grab a blue blade with an armored hand, you still loose the arm, rather than merely taking 1 hit to your arm armor. Hits to a armored off-weapon hand are a gray area.
<<<<Nope, if your hand is not holding a weapon, it is part of the arm. Thus, two blue shots to an empty, armored hand is limb loss.

Rule 3.3.6 forbids blocking any blow with the hand-off-weapon. Quoting, emphasis mine:
Quote>>>>3.3.6 - Hands and Feet: Intentionally blocking any blow with a hand which is not gripping a weapon or the handle of a shield results in the loss of that arm. Intentionally blocking any blow with foot results in the loss of that leg. Gripping the blade or point of your opponent's weapon with your hand results in the loss of that arm.<<<<
Taking the rule literally, any hit to an unarmored hand in which the hand "intentionally blocked" would result in the loss of the arm. Therefore, a 1 blue (or single green) shot to the hand would disable the arm. There was a thread on this earlier. The consensus was that grabbing the blade of a blue weapon with an armored hand would result in the loss of an arm, while hits to (aka blocks from) the hand would take damage as normal.
Alric:
Odran's right - that rule is ambiguous, seeming to contradict this later one:
3.3.7.2 - Hands are holding a weapon or the handle of a shield. When not holding anything, hands are considered part of the arm.
More wording that could be cleaned up, in a perfect world.
Jack Stewart III:
Ok, I see where you're coming from...
See, I was taught that in the instances wherein 3.3.6 and 3.3.7.2 happen, to assume that the book was written from the perspective of an unarmored combatant. Thusly, by that logic, if you throw your armored limb in front of a (blue) shot, you take the 1/2 damage as being armored, or if you do that to a (single) Green, you take no damage. Do I think its cheap? Not really. If I'm in real combat and its my arm, or my (already injured) chest, I'm taking the shot in the arm and going to run you through...if I die later, well that sucks, but at least I took you with me.
