To be fair, the Reavers probably didn't want just Jayne's leg to chomp on, but his whole self.
That said, considering Jayne was being pulled almost horizontal by the harpoon... Hmm.

It was plainly wrong for Joss to give Jayne mutant healing powers. And this is not the only mistake he made.
Mal was completely impaled with a sword and kept fighting. You don't think he had some mutant powers?

Now that you mention it, Joss gave Mal some minor mutant powers. I saw Jayne as the bigger mutant because he was furry faced like Wolverine. I think Joss got his X-Man comic writing pages mixed up with his Serenity script. He probably printed both out the same day. There's a fancy explanation called "cross-pollination of genre", also known as "Oops, I Screwed Up".
The Joss Whedon script for "Serenity", where Wash lives, is

Through the love handles I thought, not that he has them. Kinda wonder how it missed the kidney though.

Anyway, he wasn't being pulled, it was holding onto him, like a fishing line before it's reeled in. If it was pulling him, then yeah, his leg would have torn wide open.
Later, clearly, Simon must have patched him up REAL GOOD.

Well, it would have to be pulling on him a little, otherwise the hovermule would have to constantly be accelerating or air resistance would have to generate enough horizontal force that Jayne would actually go horizontal.
60 mph, which is what it maybe looked like the mule was traveling at might be enough.
Though the harpoon also tugged him down from where he was standing.

How come my spelling of DOBSON has changed?
In the heading it's with the 'O'
and in the thread when opened it's with a 'U'
?
Anyone else getting that or is it just me...?
What the ?!!! Two minutes later and it's gone back again....
