*WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGE* - THIS IS THE REASON I DON'T WEAR A WEDDING RING

[wagyu52]

I work with my hands and don't wear one for the reasons already stated. I did find this on the web and thought it looked like a great option.

Actually, my ring helped me one day.
I got my left hand between the corner of a rolling table with a full load of stock and a press frame.
It smashed up against my ring, cut it, bent it out round but my fingers did not take the brunt of the hit.

I would have zero problems doing this. It's my default answer every time she brings up "why don't you have your ring on?".

I would be fine with my husband doing this, I've suggested it a few times.

I'll do it some day, when it gets brought up she always says don't do that. It will be my first tat.

That too is the same reason I don't wear mine at work either

A guy I worked with...jumped off the back of a stake bed truck. His ring caught on the bed rails, and ripped the finer completely off! Now he walks around with a permanent shocker! He is used to it now...some of his girlfriends like it...others not so much

LOLOLOLOL

I just hope this thread prevents anybody from losing a finger

 

[gunman41mag]

Still can't compete with long pony tailed boring mill/drill press operators for the gore factor.

 

[freekforge]

this is why i wear absolutely no jewelry in the garage i run lathes mills and drill presses so all kinds of scary **** can happen. Have you guys seen what will happen if you try to pull a nut out of an impact wrench and pull the trigger? Long sleeves are even scarier than rings too.

I'm some have seen it before but if you want a reminder of the danger of industrial equipment the one thing that I will never get out of my head is the guy that had his entire torso/head sucked into a large lathe... Just search "industrial lathe accident" and you'll see the pictures... they are very, very, very graphic (nothing is censored out). Also, there is a website with those pictures that also has pictures of other industrial accidents so you may be able to find that site through your searching... you will see things that you will never be able to forget...

I feel like puking now...

 

[freekforge]

Ive have seen the one where the guy got wrapped up and if you have a weak stomach dont search it lol. I have also seen friends and co workers of my dad who have had some serious accidents. jewelry and work dont mix.

That's gonna leave a mark...


Been know to take mine off when around machinery, (even lost one that way... wife not happy) now days, I don't have the need to take mine off.

 

[Hotdoger]

This about happened to me in Miami, Fl. on a job. Had to have the ring cut off. Still got it in my jewelry box. Have not worn any rings since.

 

[gunman41mag]

I've only have worn my ring on family get together

I cringe every time this thread comes back up.
