Yes back in bloody hospital again after slipping with knife cutting cable tie which then cut 2 tendons in back of hand, 6 weeks with this bloody thing on. Biking out coz there no way I can pull the clutch in :-(
What ??? How ?? were you using a knife like this ?? And where was the cable tie...around your wrist after a bit of dubious role play... ?? I think we best downgrade you to one of these wearing Till there can be a full forum risk assessment carried out.... GWS
Gush I'm so glad I posted on here to receive all your sympathies, heaven bid people taking the piss Cheers guys
Wow, so easily done isn't it. 6 weeks of summer down the pan then, sorry for you. I've had a couple of near misses with an angle grinder on the shin and cutting off the end of a finger with a Stanley knife, but luckily nothing serious like tendons etc.... Just flesh wounds.
I would say if you managed to not sever any nerves in the process you are a lucky man. I did when I did it on a finger, took the 4 months for them to admit the fleshy bit hanging out my finger was my nerve ending and they finally stitched it back together, but not before losing all sensation in the end of the finger. I was lucky, it was only one finger, but Stanley knives are dangerous when it comes to nerves and tendons Angle grinders are way more fun
I went thro to the bone on my RH index finger after using an angle grinder without a guard, which also had the switch permanently wired to on as it was furked. Changed the disc then held it in the same place and plugged it in and the disc went straight thru my finger! Also severed the nerves and tendons in my second finger on my RH when ropening up and replacing silica gel inside 11kV transformer breather canisters when on site because the client wouldn't pay for new items and had loose silica gel in stores on site the glass tube split around the back and my finger went inside then it closed back up with my digit still inside! That was 5 hours in surgery in Morriston Hospital Swansea!!
You should meet my pal Gregor,a right pair of daftys you'd make. He sawed thru his hand fitting a bar into the summer house. Tendon damage and no biking for 9 weeks doc said
