Oh wow, I can't even imagine to pain that must have been.

 

[IcSyU]

Holy crap! That happened to one of my high school teachers!

 

[cyismydog]

My dad told me about a guy that dunked with his wedding ring on, and pulled everything off above his knuckle, including the muscle.

 

[danrog]

my old junior high, and an old baseball friend in mr. welter. sad to hear about the student's finger though, geez

 

[CloneNation]

Why do we wear rings again?:nah:

I take mine off every day before heading out to coach football practice. I don't know of anything ever happening in that situation, but I can see catching a ball the wrong way ripping the skin right off.

I have an uncle who is a truck driver and one day he jumped off the trailer and caught his wedding ring. Ripped his ring finger off.

I got my finger caught in one of those chain link basketball nets once, 14 stitches after that baby...

Nothing to do with rings but I once got so pissed at a reciever in practice for dropping the ball so many times I threw it as hard I could on a little stop route, split the webbing in his fingers, very bloody. Soccercy can back me up on that one :wink:.

I knew a girl when I was in high school who was tubing out on a lake and got one of her fingers caught in the rope when the boat took off..... Pulled it clean off at the first knuckle

My dad told me about a guy that dunked with his wedding ring on, and pulled everything off above his knuckle, including the muscle.

I caught my wedding ring on a rim back in the day, but I got off easy with just the skin peeled up on the underside of my finger. Luckily it was a two hander.

 

[Jerry1982]

Wore my wedding ring on my honeymoon. Then I took it off.

 

[Cardinal&Gold11]

This is why I don't dunk on rims with chains and this is why i don't where rings. I feel terrible for the girl though

 

[CyGal]

I had a friend who, back in high school, got her sleeve caught in a jig saw in the theater department. Instead of cutting the wood, she cut up her left forearm and back down again. Luckily she still has her arm, and as far as I know it still works.

 

[milrtym]

Played with a guy at Lied Rec Center while I was in school that ripped his finger off trying to dunk. Came up a little short and caught it on the net. Kind of a gross sight.

Shortly after that I accidentally racked Steve Johnson with the top of my head as he dunked it on me.

 

[Bubbahotep]

I'm glad I can't jump

SubconciousI'm too unathletic to reach the rim and too much of a freak to have anyone interested in me enough to date me)
