Caution reminder
I wanted to share my recent accident and remind everyone to use extreme caution when handling wheel weights. While rigging my hoist to lift one of my 90 lb rear wheel weights, the weight slipped and caught my right little finger between the chain and the weight. The result is a severely crushed finger at the joint closest to the fingernail, and the nail was nearly torn completely off.
This happened in an instant. The doctor said the nail will eventually grow back, but I'll probability loose the mobility of the joint. PLEASE! Everyone BE CAREFUL handling heavy objects. One split second of carelessness almost cost me a finger.
