lost the end of my finger to a 200m

[trikes4life]

friday me and my friend zack (topoortorideon4) where working on his chain and we had the rear tires off and i was checking the chain slack. and wasn't paying attention and my left index finger was cut off. the last knuckle in my finger to the end is gone. cant do any wrenching or riding for two weeks or more.:cry:

[slothminx]

You had the motor running while you were working on the chain!?


That sucks. Did they save the end?

[dickieg89]

chicks love scars.

[Dave223]

I cant seem to understand how you did this....
You were checking chain slack, with the chain turning? If so, why?
If you didnt have the chain turning, how did this happen? Sorry about your accident and the loss of your finger tip, Dave

[88 Turbo Coupe]

How do you check chain slack using your finger to the end of your knuckle?

[200xcellent]

kinda sounds like he was pushing down on the inside of the chain while it was moving, really sorry about your finger, hope you dont only use one clutch finger like me when riding.

[ATCnut]

OUCH

Bummer!!

[Rm250RF900R]

We need some :pics:

[xman23]

damm that sux man, howed it all happen now?

[nouseforaname90]

Awwe John! Are those your finger tips? They look like they're decaying in there.. ick.. lol.

[200x Basket]

LOL. that is a dirty pic!!!

sorry about the body part losses. :(

so john are they in rum?

[hancadam]

Don't worry, its just another memory. Plus its a good story to tell.

[grundlegrabber]

I too am a member of the stub club. An old chain driven riding mower got me when I was a kid. They were able to repair mine a bit. Now I get nervous putting my hands near a chain when the bike ain't even running. Sucks big time. Bet it taught ya a lesson though! Let's see some gruesome :pics:

[Macs]

lost my middle and index tips to a chain when iwas thirteeen. Went through the Hand Surgeons of Texas and they did a great job rebuilding them. I have to point them out now when i tell people about them. But it has been thirteen years and still no feeling.

[Vealmonkey]

Remind me not to drink the rum at swineharts.

[nouseforaname90]

Haha wouldn't that be a nasty surprise. Be drunk and drinking away at your rum and then you find a finger in your rum.. mm mmm!

[Billy Golightly]

Man I'm amazed how many of you guys this has happened to! Thats something else. Sorry to hear about all the injuries :(

[Macs]

It is definatley a lesson learned. What is really bad is my job consist of typing on a computer at leat 9 hours a day and i have 2 fingers that i cant feel. It makes typing kinda difficult.

[dizasterzrfun69]

LOL. that is a dirty pic!!!

sorry about the body part losses. :(

so john are they in rum?


If your talking to swiney then... well.... He didnt "lose" any body parts, he still has them and obviously knows exactly where they are! :lol: :lol:


Kevin

[nouseforaname90]

I absolutely hate cursive, and even though all of my fingers are still intact I still don't do it unless its my signature.. lol.

[Air-cooled-R]

Don't feel bad, I lost part of my calf muscle and got 46 stitches b/c of a 185s ridin one day before the summer.

[dizasterzrfun69]

i'm starting to think we need an "injury forum" :lol: they all seem to be from non-suspended trikes too!

[Howdy]

Barry ,,, was it your left hand too ? Hey Grundle ,,, that is your left hand right ???

Heck, I am left handed and I have not been able to write cursave (sp?) since my incedent. I print everthing with the exception of my signiture.


john

I knew something was up with you. But I could never put my finger on it. pun intended! lmao I just couldn't resist!!
Howdy

[SWIGIN]

i got my finger tip in a jar too....lol


i thought i was the only one!!....but i didnt lose mine in a chain, i had acid eat it and kill it

[rally4x4racer]

do toes count for any points? this was a grinder that snapped a blade (THANKS DEWALT) while chopping a suziki frame - your right it will make you seriously cautious

[petesatc]

Yep me too lost the top of my middle finger in a lawn mower...they managed to sow it back on as it didn't quite cut all the way through.. looks a bit strange but works fine now after 20 years......

[chris200x]

maybe some of you guys should stick with shaft drive huh?

[erectordale]

mine was from a tree trimming accident . wind and topping the last limb it came down and smashed it beyond saving

LOL! LOL LOL LOL

[grundlegrabber]

My damage is on the right hand. Been about 17 yrs now I think. I have feeling in them, not normal though. I am right handed, and it does have a negative effect on my work (auto mechanic) at times. Dude with the hacked up toes, what were ya doin', cutting with sandals on???

[Bryan Raffa]

I cut the end of my right pointer finger off the the only thing holding it on was the nail, if that, I got it stiched back on. and it stayed but when its cold out its the first thing that gets cold and starts to be a little annoying.

[topoortorideon4]

I saw it happen dude it sucks when he dials the phone he pushes 2 numbers instead of one

[snakemaster]

Hey you could allwas get a key chain made out off your dismemberd finger all the
rage in Poland i hear

[Xowner]

but how did he get it choped off was the bike running?

[Pistonhead]

Man none of you stub guys must be bassists eh?!

[Banage]

ouch, that sucks

[greenhuman]

From what Aussieduners missus tells me, he must have been checking his chain with his ****.

[nouseforaname90]

LMAO! That is just WEIRD man..

[blown355nova]

WOW! (Note to self, never check chain slack with fingers!) Sorry about your loss dude! I hope you have recovered ok.

[RideRed250R]

seems to have been able to type well....

[trikes4life]

ok i was checking chain slack while it was running and i wasn't paying atention, it was idleing and i turned around and it kick up and the chained turned
and i looked doen to realize my finger was missing from the last nuckle (just the tip). the vicodine and other major pain killers are working good, i am felling great. and the time off of school is boring. didn't get any pics of it. but when i take off the bandage i will get some stube pics

[darrel632]

Sad but funny story I was the HSE (SAFETY) officer for a very large food corp. that processed vegetables, one of our senior millwrights put his finger through an inspection port to check a shaft while the equipment was running, ( Pretty stupid) He lost the first finger to the second knuckle (Lost time accident and WCB for 6 weeks) OSHA did a follow up inpection 3 weeks after he returned to work (9 weeks after the primary incident) to see if we had made changes in policy, guards, etc to make this maintenance function safer. The inspector could not understand how the incident occured, the same millwright demonstrated what happened using his first finger on his left hand..........


Here's your sign;
another 6 weeks of Compensation for loss of digit.

Stupidly funny, but true.

[MichiganRedneck]

my dad lost his middle finger tip on his left hand when he was 13. he was working on a farmall tractor and his hand slipped right into the fan. He said the doctor pulled chunks of fingernail out of his finger without even numbing it. thats nasty.

[Cody]

I almost lost the end of my finger aswell. By a go cart chain.

[3 weelin geezer]

I absolutely hate cursive, and even though all of my fingers are still intact I still don't do it unless its my signature.. lol.

my uncle lost the tip of his index finger, first nuckle to a meat grinder when he was a kid......

he always would play the "look I can pull off my finger joke" we took it seriously at first... lol then we found out the truth.

[Nick_n_ii]

Well i have all mi fingers, one an't quite right ripped the tip off at work, But I did break 6 ribs, on a Tri-Z once...

[ScottZJ]

Well I lost the tip of my left pinky but it was hanging by some skin so I wrapped it in ice and they were able to save it for me. Now my finger nail gets whiter lower than normal and I have a "halo" around where they stiched me up.

Oh I split my thumb in half too and its almost back to normal haha. But sorry to hear about your accident man.

[trikes4life]
