Yep,I remember a guy I was working with slipped off a ladder, grabbed a piece of steel,got his ring caught on a pipe hanger and it pealed his finger like a Banana. Took off my ring that day and never wore one after that.
I served on a carrier in Catapults (V-2). Early on, I watched a shipmate jump down into the catwalk just before an aircraft was launched. ....His ring caught on the deck edge, so he left his finger and ring on the flight deck.
I married a year or so later and wife didn’t like that I wouldn’t wear the ring 24/7. After active duty, I had some jobs running engine lathes, so no ring then either.
