holy fuck! did you lose it or was it just a gouge?

God damn, as a welder, i hope a zip disk never makes contact with my finger while spinning at 5000 rpm. Did you hit the bone?

[KRyn]

Wow that is savage, let us hear the story behind what happened.

I worked with this guy once at my old welding place, he welded where he shouldnt have, so we had to cut joint out, grabs the Zip Cut and cuts out the weld, but hes mofugging lazy to walk and grab a grinder, he uses the Zip cup and trys grinding with that....a few seconds later the Zip disk disentegrate into hundreds of pieces of flying shards....luckily nobody was around and he didnt get it in his head or eyes..too bad, what an idiot

[LadyLuck]

Wrong finger!

Seriously tho, that sucks dude, glad to see its still attached!

[old&slow]

20 years a welder...got careless and bang...kinda like when the bullet hits the bone only in this case it was a 7" disc...didn't lose it but it hurt like hell and bleed profusely...lost a few days work and our small shop don't need to get behind in the piping...

yik! I cut the tip of my finger off, never found the tip, but most of it grew back. I don't have any feeling in the tip of my finger now as i cut right to the nerves. I feel your pain!!

[AE92_TreunoSC]

is this from the disc shattering? or just touching it by accident?

[Redlyne_mr2]

OMG thats harsh, Im always worried about that.

Haha if I could count how many zips I blew up LOL. I always wear a face shield when I zip and my helmet when I grind. I also wear carharts and long sleeve thick sweaters. Safety first haha.

Cutting disc. Pushed it into my hand as I was working while deep in thought...totally forgot my thought afterwords.
Carelessness FTL.

it must of hurt like hell when they stiched it up. specially when they had to do it while it was bruised. its looks swollen. eeeh

[barmanjay]

You sure pissed it off when you gave it the finger

*shudders at the thought of the pain and blood*

[civic_stylez]

i welded for 7 years and I feel your pain! I took the top of my knuckle off with a grinder and looking down at a 60 grit disc with a piece of your hand on it is not a great start to the day... good luck with a speedy recovery!

Yikes, hope it heals up quick

The needle with freezing stung a bit...the stitching was just some tugging...
