General: So I amputated about 1/4 of my finger in my chain.

I flipped my bike upside down and the rag wrapped around my finger while i was rotating my cranks with my other hand. Then a corner of the rag was pulled between the chain and the cog, taking my finger in between the chain and cog as well. Then I looked at my finger and it looked grotesquely small with my fractured bone sticking out. And now I realize that its not a bad idea to be careful when you're cleaning a chain. Haha. We found the section of my finger still smashed between chain and cog just chillin there. It was too dirty and mangled to re-attach. But now i have a cool nub that I'm sure the ladies will love. :D
Lube your chain with caution yeah?

jesus fucking christ

pics or it didn't happen!

no pics please

No pics sorry, pics were on my phone. Phone got screwed up, and gone now, med records can be found though...haha

Posted By: suicide_doorsI like seeing amputated fingers

when i was a little squirt my best friends uncle who had blown 2 fingers off with a bottle rocket at the 1st knuckle used to give us the worst dutch rubs. boney finger stubs rub across the top of your head = pain.



:* ( sad, i just remembered he died this summer. had the AIDS. its funny how you talk about people as if they were still here even after they are gone...

Posted By: SkidMarkYet another thing common sense warns about...

I am now officially boycotting this thread. As a person who has a long track record of finger-mutilation (sliced open my left thumb with an X-Acto knife; sliced the tip off my right thumb in a meat slicer when I stupidly reached to pull out a stuck orange slice), I do not want to see photos of severed digits. I do not want to take the risk that somebody's going to post a photo of this, thinking it's funny/cool/gross; only the last one is true, and I can live without it.

Eeeeek.

AHHHHHHHHH that is what I said when my chain was slacken and it happened to me I felt the whole rotation
good thing the chain was loose

This is for you, eaglerock.

Ha.

As the saying goes, don't put your finger anywhere you wouldn't put your [particularly delicate piece of anatomy]. I still have all my fingers and toes, but only through luck, not skill.

Here's all the nastiness one could possibly want -- or not.

I would pick losing the tip of a finger over losing teeth any day.

I crushed the tip of my left middle finger in a hydraulic wood splitter BTW.

Looks like my grandmother.

Teeth can be somewhat seamlessly replaced, while finger tipson the other handcannot. I have a bridge for three of my upper-front teeth that even I forget are fake at times.

How does that impact your ability to flip people off? :P

Yes, they can, if you can afford the thousands of dollars it would cost for it to look decent. People look at your face when they meet you, not your fingers. There are people who have known me for years and don't notice my missing fingertip. Missing front teeth kinda yuck me out, I don't think I am alone on that.

I usually use my right hand to flip people off.

I would way rather screw up some teeth than a finger. Losing a finger can destroy a musical a career in music. I can deal with people not liking my face, but not being able to play music would just suck.

Thank you. Hopefully I can trick eaglerock into looking at that "by accident."

Lovely. How long until it stopped bleeding?

I was planning on making an animated attack .gif

But I got caught up with making a million things for my mother's birthday party.
