first injury for secon-gen_monkey

second-gen_monkey

i dunno if this really goes her, but it was an accident.

caught my finger in the roller on a vermeer chipper while cleaning it out. i wasn't paying attention and caught the very tip of my glove, it yanked my finger in and tried to shear the first joint off. the glove saved me from an amputation, all i got was 20 stitches. i'll post pics detailing how it happened in a few hours so no one else makes this stupid, stupid mistake.

I work with a bloke whom the same kind of thing happened, got to hospital pulled the glove off and the tips of the middle and ring finger just didn't come out, lol. By the pics I looks like you are lucky to still have your finger, ouch.

Get well

When using chippers stop to think, never put ya hands where ya wouldn't put ya dick.

Which way would ya want to go? Feet 1st or head 1st. Hmm a poll here maybe.
