surprisingly i'm one of the a select number of chippies that still has all his fingers. although i did once manage to sink a 1" chisel into my arm.... (???)
Another guy I've worked with was making set panels when he reached under the wood to clear the blade of the circular saw and pulled the trigger at the same time. The blade split his finger in half lengthways. The surgeons saved it by temporarily stitching it back together and to the adjacent finger and taking the blood supply from there.
errgghhh...
I tore the end off my middle finger after walking into the glass at the end of a bus shelter. it bowed out and left a gap. I grabbed the pillar to steady myself and the glass came back and pinned it. I then paniced and yanked.
drunk? how do you walk into a bus shelter - unless your drunk....
a friend was cleaning his new ninga (or whatever) motorbike. stuck his finger in the disc to turn the wheel and couldn't get his finger out in time. his finger met the caliper, but the wheel kept on turning... he couldn't ride his new machine that summer and had to wait the best part of a year till he could ride again (bavarian winters... not many bikes out on the snow/ice).
a guy in our workshop took off the end of his fingers on the table saw a few months back. he left a lot of blood everywhere and now has stubby fingers on his left hand. we made him a pushery-througher thing and wrote "i'm replaceable, but your fingers are not" on it.
i've a friend who dropped a router into his leg. nice big boily scar on his thigh.
