| Ouch - how much of the top of your finger did you lose?
That sounds like the kind of mistake you only make once!
A guy at work was once pushing a stout piece of hardwood through the bandsaw and yeah, you've guessed it, thumb in line with the blade, (never a smart thing to do) he was pushing the timber firmly through the saw and just as he got closer to the edge, the wood pushed through with less resistance and so did his thumb...
He didn't lose the thumb but he had a pretty scary looking flap of it hanging off until they sewed it back on!
