Ouch indeed. I saw a similar nasty on a safety brief about the correct use of fall arrest harnesses. The poor unfortunate chap had his groin straps too loose.
When he fell they instantly tightened popping his.....................well ill leave it to your imagination.
He was limping for a while, even after the 116 stitches had disolved.
I always make sure my harness is tight where it should be after that!!!

I would like to point out that it's not my finger but thought it worthy of putting up

I guessed it wasn't yours, as the nut is not painted matt black!

I don't know why but your comment, Herb, has given me a fit of the giggles.
I think I was primed for a good laugh because I have just watched this on the BBC news.

And I'm not sure if it is a hoax, but it's amusing.
Sorry to hijack this serious topic...

How on earth do you manage that?
Knew a guy who caught his wedding ring on the top of the barracks fence when climbing back in after a late night... Neatly stripped off his finger and by the time the blokes in the guardroom had finished playing with it, it was too late to sew it back on...
