This is about the ONLY kind of tattoo I'll get.

"...wedding ring incident..."
I remember reading the Neil Armstrong did something similar while jumping over a fence.
Your finger doesn’t do well when pitted against your entire body weight, and that body is moving.
Exercising or doing anything where there is even the POSSIBILITY of hooking a ring on something is just stupid. It won’t kill you, so it isn’t Darwin Awards stupid, but it ranks up there.
Not exactly sure of the details
Interesting, post a photo of a nasty looking accident, have no details and tell hunters how to act.
Maybe there was a benefit to being divorced.
Friend who was in the Army gives the same advice having that ring on your finger can have bad consequences.
As a USAF mechanic, wedding rings were forbidden on the flight line.
We were shown worse pictures than this, with fingers completely torn away, and ligaments pulled from the arm.
As an electrician in the AF, we always were warned about working around the high voltage areas with our rings on.
Electricity can do so much more damage than a puny deer stand. ;)
A little “graphic image” label would be NICE...
I worked construction for years and it was SOP to take my ring off before going to work. Too many horror stories over a simple ring accident.

Having been a Marine, hunter, married and divorced I assure you having that ring on your finger can have bad consequences
This is why the military has regulations about wearing rings when working in missile facilities, aircraft in flight or on the ground or any equipment you might snag a ring on. Easy to do. The one time I wore a ring while removing code equipment on an aircraft I snagged it and nearly broke my ring finger and I was wearing flight gloves. It’s also easy for an electric current to jump to that ring, even through gloves. I’ve seen others who tore up digits. Follow the regs, notices, warnings, cautions, and most of all use common sense.
Got branded by my wedding ring when a molten weld droplet fell on the gold (got past the glove shroud somehow) with 3rd degree burns. The steel drop melted into the gold, needed the ring rebuilt as well.
It is called a ring avulsion injury. Occurs in various forms of severity about 150,000 times per year, and represents about 5% of all upper limb injuries. Happened in a bad way two years ago to Jimmy Fallon. Fallon wasn’t hunting. He tripped over a rug, caught the ring on the edge of a table.

That’ll clear right up. There are worse wedding ring incidents out there.
But what REALLY sucked is that this happened in the damned bush. That has to suck more than anything. hours of pain, debreeding (Debris removal) and all the meanwhile hours from hospital care.
Look everybody. As a jeweler for most of my life, I can attest that there are myriad DANGERS regarding wedding rings.
NO JOKE about MARRIAGE HERE.
Several times a year I had the awful task of cutting the wedding ring from a terribly butchered finger. In a couple of cases, I later found out the finger could NOT be saved.
Electronics, fences, handles, backs of pickup truck....there are literally hundreds of things that will catch a ring on (really) ANY finger. Care must be taken at all times. I will never forget the
This post is about a MAN’S finger, but even more often, I had to cut off the wedding AND engagement ring from a wonan’s bleeding finger. Even super market carts have projections that can cause serious damage.
Its really drilled into your head in the Army...safety posters about it were posted everywhere. To get in and out of an armored vehicle, you essentially climb in and out of them...repeatedly if doing maintenance or cleaning. This provides lots of opportunity for a ring to snag something on the way down.
Hubby is a retired firefighter. Never wore a ring at work. Left it on the dresser before he left. He also wore nothing but cheap watches. Our sheriff’s department seemed to get a kick out of running over his. He’d take it off and lay it on the ground to use as a timer while working on someone and after they were stabilized and being loaded in the ambulance whichever deputy saw his watch there would make a point of running over it. Lol. We bought quite a few Timexes.
not even a diamond? whatta cheapskate.
atleast you gave her hepatitus c..
hehehe
