Show the wife that picture. I'm sure she'll understand!

[Tom D]

I did, mind you she wasn't as freaked out as the "loose fitting harness" one.

Thats given me a real dilemma now. I really like the ring and If I didn't wear it all the time I'd just loose it. Its either all or nothing.

 

Tom, take a deep breath and look at the pic below, ok, its not the wedding finger, but its a deglove caused by a ring, thats an amputation, there's nothing that can be done for it. I used to wear a wedding ring at work until I saw these images a few years back. It could happen feeding brush into the chipper or catching the ring on a small stub in the tree or a piece of equipment.

Nearly had this happen to me escaped with a very nice scar and a ring that had to be cut in half before my finger died.

 

I dont wear jewellery at work EVER.

Stopped wearing mine years ago when it cut into my finger when hitching a trailer.

 

The biggest cause of finger amputation is Sunday league foot ball, whist fitting the nets to the cross bar of the goal, guys jump up to hook the net, ring catches, finger comes off.

The father of a guy that used to work for me degloved a finger like that in an industrial accident, not tree work, but had to have his index finger amputated.

 

Long recuperation, retraining into another job, etc...

[penfold]

wear gloves? possible solution

[Ben]

Thats made my mind up, my rings coming off when i'm working.

Those deglove pics are shocking! I thought everyone was taught at school during metalwork not to wear rings..........Besides, jewellery is for fags n women.......My earrings got caught in the back of my hairdryer once.
