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.
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...
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.
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.
Another example. A jr high teacher of mine slipped off his roof & caught his ring on the rain gutter on the way down. He had surgery on it & it was wrapped up for months.
