That looks slightly painful - I want to put a smiley on, but it'll then look like I'm not being sympathetic, which I am.
Really

A few years ago, I was taking a rough-cut along a length of 2" tube in a big lathe. As I flicked the swarf off the toolpost, my rolled-up sleeve
slid down my arm, over my hand and caught the work piece. My sleeve wrapped around the tube and dragged me into the lathe. As I fell, my head twonked
the tail stock and as my arm twisted around the tube, the tube started to slip in the chuck. Until the curls of swarf from the chuck jaws gripped and
it started to pull me in again. This started to stall the motor, until the starter gear clicked back in and set it off again........
I still have the scars where the friction took the skin off the back of my hand, fore arm and neck. Thankfully, I didn't break any bones but I
did learn to respect the lathe a lot more!!!

Well this is how they looked this morning
not good! decided a trip to A&E was inevitable
 
Description
Place was packed with a 2-3 hr wait
But the nice lady had me in and out in 30mins
Turns out they're both open fractures
she drilled a couple of small holes to let the blood out, so they feel much better.
Got a rollocking for not going yesterday.
It seems fingers are very prone to infection
and you should get them seen to asap.

Ouch!! Guess I was lucky that my open fracture came out on the fingertip and not under the nail so i didnt have to have my nail drilled at all.
Anyway, you're a locoster - havent you got a pillar drill at all??

Yes, but i'm a big wussie 
She did it with a big hollow needle from a syringe, and its actually painless.

I'm sorry but all these are "ladies injuries"
I lost my spleen when the locost fell off the axle stands and squashed me.
I win.
and in second place.....
I broke my leg when the back wall of a concrete sectional garage I was dismantling (to build my Locost in) fell on top of me.
Losing the end of my thumb to Mr Angle grinder was nothing.
So basically, lose an organ and we'll talk.........
cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Well............ whilst welding some hastily constructed brackets to my Atlas axle to take part in the PPC£999 Challenge, I set fire to myself and
burned to death.........

Excellent - well we need pictures of your chargrilled corpse to verify you are indeed the most injured locoster!! ChrisG is looking pretty invincible
at the moment when it comes to taking the crown of biggest plonker (oops i mean most injured person) on the froum!!

Many years ago I was trying to roll a scrap car from it's side back onto it's wheels. I was holding it by the top of the wing and pulling
it towards me. As it toppled over I jumped back and it crashed down missing me as planned. Unfortunately the open bonnet also smacked down onto one
of my fingers and it looked a lot like that.
After 3 days of no sleep and much throbbing agony I gave in and went to casualty where they made a hole to relieve the pressure. However, they used a
paperclip heated red hot in a spirit burner and pushed it hard into the nail. Needed a big male nurse to clamp my arm down to the table

I'm thinking maybe it works on a sliding scale.
The longer you leave it before going to A&E, the worse the punishment is .

I wouldn't want to cast aspersions mate or doubt your word, but that's difficult to believe, to be honest.
Can't put my finger on it, (several of the posters in this thread can't do that either) but there's something that
doesn't ring true.
I know what it is!!!
You bolted them brackets on!!
Cheers
The winner, victor and all round cripple, your friend
