That's what happened. I quit wearing my ring after seeing this pic. My wife isn't thrilled, but I'll stay loyal to her without my ring.
We have a winner....
I gotta ask, what happened to the leftovers?
Below is the worst injury ever. McLeod had this happen to him when he was climbing a fence to get a disc. His quote when asked if he has a bionic finger now... "Nope, that hand's on permanent Shocker mode now."
Holy **** dude! what type of disc was it, how did you manage to get in front of it, and where did this happen?!?!?

And by the way, as crazy as the missing finger is, this is NOT A DISC GOLF DIRECTLY RELATED INJURY!!! It happened hopping a fence, which could have happened on any random fence hopping. No disrespect, that's hardcore. But I'm looking for injuries that could have only occurred from Disc Golfing. Not injuries like twisted knees, ankles, shoulders (unless it happened while throwing) etc. I know a lot of injuries occur on DG courses that could occurred on most hiking trails, or anywhere. I want to see only DG specific injuries, like KDDEBOER's drive to the face... lol. Ik moet je vragen, spreek je nederlands?
Actually, this injury happened to me at work, not on the course. So I'm disqualified from the contest. Not sure what the original thread topic was exactly, but I guess it was assumed I was at a course. When I get back from vacation I'll have to post some post-surgery pics. Mmmm...

Post surgery. You can see some bone poking out through the skin graft.
Post 2nd surgery.
The remains.
So this happened at work. No discs were involved. I was trying to get into a secured area of the warehouse, and instead of getting the supervisor I figured I could climb some shelves and drop over the other side of the 10' fence. I made it over easily and just had to let go of the fence to drop over, but my wedding ring got caught at the top as I let go. The ring was silver so it crimped under the skin and stripped it off the bone as I fell. It took the first knuckle with it and my tendon for that finger snapped at the elbow and recoiled through my forearm and stayed with the dismembered finger. I instantly went into shock and didn't feel any pain, just disbelief that that really happened in a split second. Nobody was around at the time, so I had to scale the fence one handed to retrieve my finger. I ran to the CFO's office and told him to take me to the ER. Had no insurance, but got lucky that my job took care of the 20k medical bill. They couldn't reattach the whole finger because it was ripped off and not cleanly cut off. They grafted on as much skin as they could, but it didn't take, so I had to have a second surgery that took it down to just one knuckle. This all happened in '07, so I'm completely healed and not bothered my it at all. Luckily I'm not left handed so the only thing it affects is how I type S,X, & W. Now my wedding ring is tattooed on. No more rings for me.
