Best accident with powertool (or any tool)

[Ivan Ardon]

For sheer destructive power, even an angle grinder can't beat a chop saw - it's like a circular saw on the end of a stick.

I got speaking to a chap once about power tool injuries and was talking about my toe / angle grinder interface when he whipped his hand out of his pocket and started his next sentence with "At least I kept my thumb."

Not had any big 'uns, but have damaged my wedding finger 3 times - the first two were slicing mi finger knuckle with a stanley - left a fair amount of scar tissue, which meant wearing my wedding ring was tricky (wouldn't go over knuckle).

Laying a base for a greenhouse, 2 years ago - wife and kids mithering - me...... dropped a 2' x 3' concrete slab on the finger tip of my wedding finger...ohh did that hurt.....and I couldn't swear......still have a funny feeling in the end of my finger even now.....

Wife thinks my wedding finger is doomed.......

Whilst ironing some shirts I accidentally ironed one of my moobs (don't have them anymore - moobs, not shirts!)

M brother in law is in hospital today having pretty much severed off his finger using a circular saw
