Shocking injury from lubing a chain!

No matter how silly someone is, this is a nasty thing to happen for a moment of stupidity and inattention.

To quote the bloke himself:

Quote:

I will start off by saying that I am a worthless squid rookie and I suck at everything in life.
I was about to go for a ride today and my chain was pretty nasty, so I put it up on the stands and got out the wd-40 and a rag. I started the bike, put it in gear and let it idle. I sprayed the chain down really well and I put the rag up to it and it got caught and took my hand with it through the rear sprocket. I had to have everything above my last joint amputated on my index, pointer and my ring finger on my right hand. Thankfully I am left handed. It was a stupid mistake on my part and now I will forever pay the price for it. Say what you will, flame away, I don’t care. I have accepted it and I take full responsibility. I made a choice (not knowing any better) and I will live with the consequences for the rest of my life. I thought I would post this so that 1.) no one else ever makes this mistake and 2.) To show that you don’t have to be riding for a bike to get you hurt.

WOAH!!! I learn how to do new things on my bike all the time – this is just a reminder to make sure you think of the different consequences!

It is pretty stupid but it only take a momentary slip of intelligence to happen. We’ve all done something stupid like this this, the difference is that we have gotten away with it.

One of my uncles has 4 fingers mashed off on an angle from complete index to tip of pinkie, after getting his hand caught in the chain after ditching it down the road.

I used to see kids at BMX turning their pushies upside down and spiining it up and putting fingers on rear wheel, always tell them what can happen.

one momentary “Homer moment” and it happens.
