Things you just don't get

Degloving is where the skin is removed from a significant portion. Like say there's trauma to your lower leg, and the skin is basically peeled off your foot but the foot itself is pretty much intact, that would be degloving. Think of it as a type of flaying. Avulsion means "to tear away" so basically something is ripped off one's body through trauma.

I jumped off an aircraft maintenance stand before I had cleared my hand from the access panel hinges. (((((RING AVULSION)))))). Then the medics had to cut the ring off with a broken ring cutter. In lieu of sympathy I was awarded a certainly well deserved ass chewing.

Google tells me that degloving is a specific type of avulsion

and ring degloving is the specific type of degloving that I find most terrifying since most people don't even think about it yet so many people have little digit mutilators on multiple fingers

I'm surprised it doesn't happen to women more often...

Little Digit Mutilator was edina's nickname in college.

Were it not for internet Appreciation I doubt very many people would have any idea what that was.

I don’t recall if I told this story before, but here goes. My mother is missing her ring and middle finger from her left hand. She was loading a horse into a trailer. She didn’t take the saddle off the horse. You do this because when you load the horse into a long narrow trailer the saddle could get snagged and spook and injure the horse. You use a rope on a sort of pulley to pull the horse into the trailer. Well, the horse flipped out while she was loading it. Horse quickly backs out of the trailer and the rope she is using to pull it in slips and loops around those fingers. Basically flayed off all the flesh from them. Literally only the bones were left.

oh ****

well, I guess thats the other thing sailors teach people not to do...after you've taken your rings off, active ropes never get wrapped around your hand. Should be able to get plenty of grip by holding it so it comes in to your fist pinky side, gets bent, and then gets locked off a bit by the thumb like this guy's left hand (and this puts you into a curl position so you can pull harder):

And in googling to find that photo, I learned that apparently horse people preach this gospel as well

Although ****...I always figured it would just break your hand and/or give you some real nasty rope burn. Never thought about actually losing digits.
