Yet another Arb related injury

[Matthew Arnold]

I am now part of the Arb injury club. We had been shifting logs all day and we were just swapping the trailer ad chipper around for tomorrow. We put the trailer in no problem but the chipper has an SAS Wheel clamp on it. We generally unlock and slcken it to get it off the wheel. Just to save time we slackened it but not fully just enough that we could get the wheel to turn and not have it hit the nuts or the tyre. Sadly i was the lad on the wheel clamp. I held it up enough for the wheel to rotate but the lad who was pushin it is a bit of a brute and doesnt do things steadily. I yelled "Slow down a bit mate. STOP.STOP.STOP.STOP. BACK TOWARDS YOU NOW NOW NOW!!!". It was too late the index finger went underneath the wheel clamp n wedged in between the tarmac and the wheel clamp bottom. This is the result. I know the H +S bods would frown on what i did but i have learnt my lesson as has everyone else. Especially the dick pushing the chipper.

Lost fingernail and tissue damage. Nothing much but my boss was rather surprised at the language that came out of my mouth when it first happend.

Oh thats sore mate,look after it,& make sure the dressing isnt too tight,if your finger goes numb loosen it off,youwant good circulation round that.
