Uhh...Dayum! Gonna make picking his nose a challenge. | ||

At least he's a lefty so he got lucky losing the bits on the right hand. He's also lucky he's not a pianist.  I hate seeing stuff like that. It doesn't gross me out. It just makes feel so bad about the poor guy that I gotta start making jokes right away to find balance/ground myself. I wish him a speedy recovery and many years of uneventful chain cleanings. | ||

So I wonder how having hunks of hand in his chain will affect chain life.  | ||

damn that's crazy. | ||

Seriously! It was on the stands, just pop it in neutral and roll the tire with your hand. Why do people try to automate everything!! | ||

Salad Fingers in real life! I cannot believe he did that. I had a cherry LT jump out of a 5 Ton once and his wedding ring got caught on the top of an armored door. It popped his finger off nice and clean and now he just has a nub. This is why I don't wear a ring when I am deployed, jumping out of airplanes, or around equipment. That is a hard lesson to learn. What amazes me is the amount of pictures taken. | ||

Was a boat engineer with the Coasties. Before stepping on board a boat, all jewelry, rings, watches, etc. had to be removed by the crew precisely to prevent this kind of thing. And when engineers do their rounds in engine/machinery rooms, all pfd's, gear vests, etc. is taken off before entering those spaces for the same reason. It's called "risk management" in Coastie-speak. Every qualified boat-crew member has to do a formal 2-day refresher course in these procedures each year to remain current in their certification. Too bad that guy hadn't attended one.... | ||

Probably didn't feel any pain till he got home from the hospital and the meds wore off. | ||

Anyone else notice the Blast Getting Cubed ad at the bottom of the page? | ||

We had a pfc do the same thing climbing off the top of an APC. Funny thing is.... his getting his finder litteraly ripped off it was a much cleaner wound than that guy running it through his bikes sprocket. | ||

Working in a machine shop years ago I saw a guy accidently take all four fingers off his right hand while setting up a punch press. He was high, had his hand on die punch face and "forgot" to move it while setting the stroke depth. I got the job of rushing him to the hospital before it let lose and he bled out. Gross. | ||

I think my father couldn't even wear his tags on board because he worked with the electronics and such. Just a few minutes with some kerosene and a tooth brush would have save him a lot of pain. | ||

What is it about owning a GSX-R and getting dumb? First the NOS incident and now this? | ||

Slightly off topic....but don't go working with batteries wearing rings either...shorting a car battery through a ring releases well over 1000 amps dead short...it will take the finger right down to the bone. | ||

"Anyone else notice the Blast Getting Cubed ad at the bottom of the page?" Movement from the Flash caught my eye as the bike disappeared. Then a multi colored metal cube fell in the picture. Z | ||

Had this happened to me, I wouldn't have ever mentioned it to anyone...ever. This dude at least has some humility and I think he is trying to pose it as a lesson learned for equally stupid people not to repeat. I did screw up once...and my Dad had JUST finished warning me to stop what I was doing before it happened and I didn't listen because I didn't want to change tools or lay down any rubber pads, OR wear gloves. I was taking the alternator off the Grand National to rebuild it in the garage for the week. I had a wrench on the brackets and loosened it up. I took the power wire bolt and started to loosen the nut on it with the wrench and overdid it a bit and grounded myself to a nearby bracket... The sudden shock jolt of electricity are welded the wrench to the bracket, and sent me flying out from under the hood. My Dad came outside laughing his ass off and explained to me that "One of these days you'll listen and learn the easy way instead of the hard way." Everything ended up fine after he helped me clean up the mess and rebuild the alternator. I will never do that again for sure. | ||

The short I was talking about was when a newbie at a truck shop dead shorted to ground from a series-parallel switch...4 size 8D batteries in series...if you have never seen that...it's not a case of sparks and the metal getting hot...it's an explosive plasma event. At the hospital, the docs just snipped the remainder of the fried finger bone off, ground the end smooth and sewed up the stump...it took several surgeries and skin grafts to fix the rest of the damage to his hand. | ||

I guess I was lucky, I couldn't open the link cause my puter was in choke mode at the time. I can imagine, and don't need to see, what he did. I watched a buddy, while welding a roll bar cage in a race car, get a good connection between his gold wedding ring, the steel cage, and the lead wire on the welder. He laid the whip over a bar and was changing position, didn't notice the trigger was touching a bar and feeding wire. It welded the ring to the bar with the juice going through his body. While he was being run to the hospital, another buddy came in the shop, not knowing, and asked who was burning steaks on the grille. He was OK, just lost most of his ring finger. I won't wear my ring unless I know I am going out somewhere that requires dress clothes. | ||
