I never wore my rings when working, even before this happened.Always used to amaze me how many guys when we were on tour would still wear their wedding rings considering a lot of what we were doing its the first thing id remove as to reduce risk of a lost finger.
I saw a guy lose his wedding ring finger once, not a pretty sight. He was sat in the cockpit of a lynx helicopter working the switches whilst a couple of other guys did the refuelling. When all was finished he put his left hand on the door frame and jumped out of the cockpit. Unfortunately his wedding ring got caught on the cockpit window emergency jettison linkage, and before his feet hit the ground ( he was a short arse), his finger took his full weight and off it came in a oner. It couldn't be saved so he now ha one hand that looks like something from a cartoon.
There used to be a photograph of his hand with his detached finger next to it, and the mangled wedding ring.
