    Big words!!!:goingcrazy: I actually understood most of that thanks to my wife. In fact I just learned what trans tibial means yesterday. She's on her last year of physical therapy school and they are covering amputations and prothesis. She said they were talking about degloving in class yesterday and she wasn't 100% sure what it was so I googled it for her and that is how I came to find those pics. As you guessed, that guy degloved his finger. haha

    Seeing that finger reminds me of last week. I saw a 75 old guy turn on a belt sander on and grab a block of rubber to try and clean the belt, he put it in a bad place and it caught and yanked a couple of his fingers right into the belt.
    He kinda made a sound like it hurt then turned away quickly, I was expecting to see that it had nicked him. But it ground down one finger tip at about a 45 degree angle all the way back to the cuticle. Also got another finger. Took a fraction of a second.
    If I could've snapped a pic I would've posted it.
    Respect belt sanders like saws.

    If I were him I wouldn't want a damn middle finger that looks like a corndog.

    If that happened because of a ring, the same thing happened to my 5th grade teacher. She told us the story of why she only had 4 fingers on her hand, she was hanging something on the wall standing on a chair, the chair flipped underneath her and her ring got caught on the nail. I am sure that was gory.

    A carpenter that worked for me got his finger caught in the rear of a belt sander where the belt goes up into the body of the sander and it sucked his fingernail out of his finger root and all

    son of a bitch..... bunch of finger ouch - i agree about the gloves. Even working with air tools i feel more in control without gloves, Makes me think back to high school when they made it mandatory for everyone to wear gloves while using the shop tools etc...

    Ouch. Yeah def no gloves.
    I've only imagined how much that would suck. I would almost say he got lucky it didn't get him even worse.

    The sander I saw the old guy have the mishap on was a JET vertical edge, just like this one.

    About 3 years ago we had a guy in my unit shredding whole books in an industrial sized paper shredder and he found out he could insert the books faster with the guard off. Well didn't take too long and he destroyed the tip of one of his index fingers... Doctor just trimmed it up a little and now he has a short finger.

    Since we are on the subject:
    Tree trimmer killed by chipper
    http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_3351798

    This occurred in 2005. I heard about it in an OSHA meeting when I was working at Anheuser Bush. They were discussing glove safety.
    They said that this tree trimmer had gloves on and the glove snagged on one of the branches which in turn pulled in into and through the wood chipper. The largest recognizable piece of him left was a part of his thumb inside of the glove. His partner was in the tree and watched it all happen and there wasn't anything he could do to help. The e-stop was positioned just far enough away from the front of the chipper that the guy couldn't reach for it himself. Tragic!

    Here is another article i found
    http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/man-killed-in-wood-chipper-identified
    "total morselization of body due to being pulled by a gloved hand into a commercial wood chipper."

    Shit yeah.
    I was clearing wood out of a chain drive disposal on a large component saw at a mill. Well I happened to put my hand a little too close to the sprocket that turns the chain. (chain is about 1 1/2" wide and 40' long). Caught my pinky and started pulling in my hand. Took off the tip and "degloved" about an inch and a half down. lol. Pulled so hard to get her out, thank cheese I was wearing fingerless gloves cause it would've taken my hand. From then on I have never worn gloves working except for shoveling and welding.

    One of my Sgt's was a high school basketball ref and they was a game that night and the other ref hadn't showed up and he was never late so my Sgt went to his house to find him. He had gone out to feed his cattle with his bale processor. Well he had problems with the bales sticking I guess and could just give them a kick to get it feeding again. Well he must have caught his leg that time, because all my Sgt found was some pieces of leather from his boots and a whole lots of blood basically...

    Skip to about 45 seconds to get the idea of what a bale processor is.
