Re: Who wears a wedding ring while working in the garage?

When I was a lot younger (and could jump) we were playing basketball. I went up above the rim a little and when I came down my ring caught on one of the little curly que thinks that held the net and ripped off much of the skin and meat from the finger. I was lucky it didn't rip the finger off, Or leave me hanging.
Also, my dad was using a torch cutting something and some slag got in his glove somehow and stuck to his gold band. It burned his finger to the bone all the way around his finger cause gold is such a good conductor.
if you are wearing a ring while working on moving machinery or on electrical stuff, it can cause a bad injury. Where I worked for many years, you were subject to discipline if wearing rings or jewelry while working on moving equipment.
