Not sure where I'm supposed to put this under, so I felt it best fit in spam. :P Anyways, bare with me, i'm typing with one hand. 

3 days ago I was at work, I was moving about a 30 foot ocean boat that was loaded onto a trailer. I was moving it to a different location in our parking lot so it would've made it easier for the customer to pick the boat up. I set it down, which was on the slightest of downgrade in the parking lot. It was slowly rolling closer to the forklift, so I jumped off to try and stop it and put a a wood block under the tire. It never slowed down so my hand got crushed between the tongue of the trailer (meaning the part where the ball hook of a truck would go to toe it) and the forklift mast. I crushed my hand leaving about a 4 inch gash in my palm, hit a main artery in my hand, resulting in me loosing about 1200 ML of blood, and severed my middle fingers tendon about 45% of the way through, resulting in my finger having no feeling. It amazes me that I walked out of this with no broken bones. I remember my doctor vividly saying, If not less than one more inch and I would've lost my left hand. I got 16 total stitches just to initially sew the wound up but sometime this week, they will open it back up for surgery. 

 

This was defiantly a huge eye opener for myself and I'm still in complete ah about the whole thing.

 

Main point of me sharing this with you all is just really a heads up to why I may not be active in-game for the the month or so along with typing and communicating poorly because it's hard and tiring to type with one hand :P

 

Here are some pics, only view them if you have a strong stomach haha..

Kind regards, 

Boogs <3

Get your rest and get well man.. Very terrifying to hear that the death was very near.. I’m glad that you escaped from it and that you’re still having your hand. The bad thing is that you can’t hold an irl AGS now, but I heard that a DDs specs very well also!

Take care my friend and may this be a temporary break from you. You can whale now.

Trust me, you don't want it too happen. The odds of doing what I did is below 1% lol.

@J boogs That's truly a horrible experience and I hope you recover fast!

 

I can oddly enough relate to this a lot. Last summer I was working in a factory as a summer intern and we were driving electric pallet trucks. One of the other interns jumped on a truck when I was standing right beside. Result? The truck rotated along its own axis and crushed my lower leg between a girder and the plate you stand on.

 

Got an intramedullary rod fixated with 5 screws through my tibia and 2 months of wheelchair.

Holy shit! I actually slammed my hand in the back of my box truck door at work a few weeks ago and luckily only got major bruising.

 

Hand injuries are no joke, i'll definitely be thinking twice before shoving my hand somewhere dangerous to try and prevent an accident again.
