That's pretty much what my aunty did when hanging curtains but the whole finger got yanked off. I didn't see my brother's degloving injury, but I'm told the denuded bone of his little finger was protruding from his hand like a shiny white spike. He was only 8 at the time. He was playing in a river building a dam out of rocks and sticks, but one of the rocks turned out to be too heavy for him to carry so he set it down on top of a large flat rock but his hand got trapped underneath it and it either rolled over his hand or he reflexively pulled his hand away, which stripped all the flesh off the little finger.
Phew! As long as you can still hold a pint okay, that’s the main thing… It’s a good job I’m not a surgeon. I’d sew fingers, feet etc on the wrong way for comedy effect. Eeeeh, I’m a reet cunt me…
No. It happened in mid Wales and I was initially taken to Aberystwyth A and E. But they had no facilities to sew back on there. They wanted to send me to Swansea but then decided Stoke was better as it was much closer to home. By the time I had been through A and E again, it was too late to reattach. TBF I have never missed it.
Not me but an old mate of mine who used to club race, he went down mid race and as he fell his arm got caught between the swing arm and exhaust which dragged him along. His little finger was pushed onto the hot exhaust and as a result the end of it died and eventually fell off. We had both just split from our girlfriends at the time and decided to go for a boys holiday in Spain where I had to dress his finger wound every day as he couldn’t manage it on his own which was unpleasant but I’ll never forget his screams as he lay trackside waiting for help.
Ouch… yep, certain parts of your bike become mincing machines when you go down… front brake discs, chain, front and rear wheels etc…
Got knocked off my FS1E-DX when I was 16yrs old, by a doctor of all people. Impacted his car pretty hard and resulted in the entire thigh muscle of my right leg being split into two pieces. Hospital gave me a big elasticated "Tubigrip" to wear over it for the next 6 weeks until it knitted itself back together. Did smart for a few days after.
