Goblins must have really scrawny arms and legs.  I just had a goblin get their leg severed by a crossbow trap a moment before my guards arrived and beat her to death with steel truncheons.

That is possible, depending on where it was hit.  You can also get a fatal wound to the leg if you are hit in a certain artery (doubt this is represented in game though )

I think they have the exact same dimensions as Dwarves.

[Orkel]

Did multiple bolts hit the same leg? As there are stacking injuries in the game, they might have slowly sawed the leg off.

Like, imagine a leg is thickness 5 (not really but as an example). A bolt is thickness 2. One bolt hits, slices a deep cut. Second bolt hits, slices even more, and now the leg is hanging by just a little bit of muscle, which gets severed with the last bolt causing it to fly off.

Bolts only count as edged weapons. Their small size only reduces their probability of a severing injury. Of course, the whole combat system could use a little work-- I recall a tale of a goblin who had both ears shot off with one bolt, without injuring the brain.

Just think about how that works.

Are you sure that wasn't an older version? I've heard that was fixed.

Quite probably.
Regardless, combat bugs (or features, as I like to think of them) like this still exist

Like a boomerang.

Goblins are hardly noted for their great intellect...

Well, no one ever said their brains were in their heads.

It hit the goblins weapon and sheared in half, causing both sides to miss it's face and hit the ears.
