Mountain Biking - Had to have my left pointer finger reattached.

Fell victim to the rotor incident today, and may I say it hurt badly. Won't let that happen again.

Was working on the rear brake, when my father comes across and spins the rear wheel, he did not notice that I was working on the rear brake, he only realized when I yelled out in pain.

That's gross!

I hope you're feeling better.

Reattached?? As in 'previously unattached'???

Geeez! Hope you heal very quickly! :(

thats pretty bad.


hope your fingers ok!

Wow!!! Damn!!!
Sorry to hear that Danka. Hope the surgery and healing goes well.
A buddy of mine lost a couple of fingers in high school in shop class and regained almost full movement in his digits, hope you do the same.

:( I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you recover quickly!

That sux........be sure to do what the physical therapist tells you to do. I dislocated my pinky back in september and I still dont have much motion. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

And THANK YOU for not posting pictures.......

DOUBLE DITTO for that- although I can't see how you'd have much time to run for the digicam once the tip got sliced off though. :(

Hang in there, Danka! I see it hasn't affected your typing abilities at all! :D

ouch...i've caught my finger in there a couple times - like scissors. hope you heal well soon.

Right below the finger nail.

do we get to see photos?!?!?!

dude..if you post photos..im gonna vomit..just thinking about it makes me want to.

You could make warning out of that man, Put a pic of your finger on a backround and write on it, Watch your fingers in your rotors...

Hopefully something a bit more original than that lol.

Hope you are feeling better soon! And a HUGE thanks for not posting pics!

I want to see some pics!




I bet your dad felt crappy :o

I'm with Jim....call us sick if you want but I have seen much worse..... my mate who went through the rear windsheild of a car.... 52 stitches worth! there were no nurses available at the hospital so got to hold up his arm while the doctor looked at it....hehe his mother was only able to sit in the chair in the corner looking pale!

The internet has desensitized me. A cut off finger is nothing compared to some of the stuff I've seen.

I wacked my finger a couple of months ago about the same way. I caught most of the impact with my fingernail, so it just cut a (very neat) gash on the end of my finger.

Good luck with your finger. I'll bet your dad feels really bad.

Right below the finger nail.


I feel for you man! I lost the end of my right pinkie when I was a kid right below the fingernail. They could not re attach so they coderized it and sent me on my merry way :eek: The pain I can still feel it :cry: Wierd there was enough of a root left my nail grew back. I used to tell my nephews I lost it to a bear when I worked in Alaska :D

And it makes a most excellent guitar pick :beer:

Ow! Damn. I hope they can get it put back together. I'll be sure to keep my fingers away from the rotors from now to eternity...

hope the finger gets better- did the index myself cutting, tried my own brand of fix. didn't work and the end, 1\3 attached, died. Umm, had to finish my botched job- won't describe. Hope your dad didn't feel too bad, ( unless you wanted him to- WAAAAAAA!.... ..WAAAAAAAAAAA! )
Funny thing, as a parent, the amount of time spent between waaas is the guage of the severity of wound- you hear the big suck of air between the first and second, you reach for the med kit.
