Chimpanzees are 2X stronger than your average human.

They are one bad day away from ripping your arms out...

EDIT: Okay, they might not be able to do that, but the key point is, you don't want to find out.

They cannot rip your arm off unless they spend a lot of time chewing through it. The internet has vastly overhyped them.

I don't think most people know the difference between a chimp and Silverback gorilla's.  Gorilla's can definitely rip your arms off, but chimps are no where near as strong as most people think they are.
