Here's my favorite (which just happened in the Swiss soccer league a week ago):
"A Portuguese soccer player lost a finger when he caught his wedding ring on a fence while celebrating a goal for his Swiss team.
Paolo Diogo was injured after his late goal put Servette ahead 4-1 Sunday against Schaffhausen. The ring ripped off the top of his finger.
"When I jumped down from the fence, I didn't feel anything at all," Diogo said in Wednesday's Swiss newspaper Blick. "The first time that I noticed that something was missing from my hand was when it started to hurt. And it hurt tremendously."
Before it was clear what happened, Diogo was cited by the referee for excessive celebration.
Team officials found the missing finger but surgeons were unable to reattach it and recommended amputation of the stump."
Here's the picture (beware: not for the squeemish!):

Tsk tsk tsk. A little bit of common sense says that it is not a wise idea to wear jewelry when doing something athletic.

well here's the story Flit, so you know it happened. And that's USA Today, not the National Inquirer.
And I found the same story and pic on several sites, so I'm thinking the picture is real as it really happened.

but that goes back to why are you wearing your jewelry while playing a sport - that's just asking for that to happen. It's like these football players w/ long hair hanging out of the back of their helmets (no i'm not against guys w/ long hair) they are asking for that to get tangled up and yanked out.

You may like to watch it over and over but it is gross. I use to watch the movie "Faces Of Death". I don't know if they have it in Switzerland but you would love it, Shock. Here is the url for "Faces of Death" .

I know "Faces of Death", teach, thank you. Not my cup of tea. I don't even feel like clicking that link. (When saying I could have watched it again and again, I was being sarcastic of course.) |
