got 6 stitches yesterday to add to the collection. Was cutting aluminium at work and the blade gaurd decided it would not come down at the same time I bumped into the blade.

Got to see some tendon and the back of my knuckle. I got to the doctors surgery for the stitches and woke up on the floor with an oxygen mask on My blood pressure had dropped to 74 / 46 apparently very low. Anyway was sent for xrays to make sure my knuckle is still all there. heres a cool pic!

Pffft

what the hell happened to that?

Those.... Paid somebody to do that! Double wedge resection farking painful but no more ingrown toe nails! 8 stiches in each toe

ripped off, mine was free lolz. I got 8 in my face after a pushbike collision looks like I have a dimple now. The worst one I got couldnt be stitched after getting hung up on a barbed wire fence, bled like a bitch an could get 2 fingers down into it.

Lucky you didn't lose a finger mate.

Were you wearing gloves at all???

Had a similar gash in my leg back in Feb.

Stepped off a waist high retaining wall and caught my leg on the sharp edge of the 6x4 Trailer Tailgate that was down.

9 Stitches later I now have a massive scar.

hehe, I had a massive bike crash when i was a teen ager, took half the skin off my face and ripped my neck open, had 13 internal stitches and 8 across my chin.

No pics tho so it doesnt count

it was a drop saw so gloves would not have made a difference , though I may have felt it a little earlier. Luckily it didnt hurt and still havnt felt any pain exept in my back as the the doctor didnt catch me in time and apparently landed on my arse pretty hard! That tail gate hole looks like it would have hurt alot

Yea those pushbikes are bloody dangerous and us men wonder why or wives spit chips when we mention the "motorbike" word...

Lucky you weren't wearing gloves as they could have caught and you would be showing us your arm dismemberment.

Pffft

Getting the stitches out is the worst!
