Wonder if that hurt?
I had gloves on and got them caught in a belt and around the pully my finger went. That was over 2 years ago. 3 surgerys later, along with a year of theropy my finger is comming off on Tuesday morning.
Sorry to hear that especially after 3 surgery and over 2 years later having to lose your finger. I know I was happy to see my thumb still attach when I pulled my glove off, and the belt was no tighter than it was.
I saw our stupid neighbor running his splitter with his kids sitting on top of the thing and one actually sat on a large log as it was being split. I waited for the ambulances to come around.
That is unsafe. I could see using my mother-in-law but my kid? Actually I have a very cool mother-in-law, let me switch that to the X-wife. She's got the butt for it now days too. :hmm3grin2orange:Should have taken pictures. Then if you ever want to get rid of the kids, you can send the pics to child protective services and the kids will disappear like magic.
:computer:I've always had either my 10 year old son or wife running my lever for me. Even without experience at first.
The trick is to NEVER put your fingers on the top of the log, never.
I still have all my fingers.
