this confirms the theory, "stupidity should be painful!"
edit: long story short. we went on a call and a guy was changing the mixer blades on his mixer when (close your eyes!) he somehow bumped the on/off
switch and viola! both hands/fingers/bones going every which way and when he tried to pull away the blades caught his shirt and sucked up his shirt
and got binded-up at his chest. by the time we got there he had somehow UNPLUGGED the cord. we packaged and transported with the entire mess in place.
the poor old guy probably lost a couple of fingers.....

There are rookie mistakes and there are rookie mistakes. Even those on Darwin's short list seldom walk in front of speeding busses. With so few miles
on motorcycles it seems unlikely that he would even NEED to clean a good O-ring chain on his fourth STREET bike. Yikes.

Reminds me of the time my Dad was cleaning an air compressor used to start the main engine of a Tuna Boat and he thought the compressor was off-it was
not!! The compressor started and he lost two fingers. Accidents happen.

Guess he really put his finger on the problem.

who remebers when Dale Pearson www.gonetobaja.com was working on his boat trailer and lopped off 2 of his finger tips way south of SF at Encantadas? he had to suffer the rickety
drive north to SF for emerg med aid then continue on to the states for serious med attention.
the story and pictures were brutal. one tough amigo to have had to put up with that.

I was impressed the guy documented the event so well. The "ER" is one thing, but to have the presence of mind at the scene of the accident to pull out
a camera.... wow!
