Risked being chopped up (5)
I believe the answer is:
diced
This clue is a double definition.
'risked' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'being chopped up' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for diced that I've seen before include "getting the chop!" , "Chopped into cubes" , "Cut into small cubes" , "Chopped; gambled" , "Cubed" .)
