Wedding rings are F-ing dangerous

[A+]

Right when I clicked this thread, I get an ad for men's wedding rings....
Yeah, anytime I come across anything electric, I take my ring off.

A maintenance worker I know from my last job got his wedding ring caught in a piece of machinery, and it yanked the skin off the whole finger. They had to just cut it off.

Mine has been in my dresser for 38 years.. Mechanical/industrial work and rings are a no-no!

For some reason that sounds worse than just having the entire finger ripped off in the original accident.

Just the opposite for me. I was pulling a rear bumper off of a 3/4 ton pick up and the ring saved my finger. I told my buddy to give his end a good yank and I was pulling on my end. Turns out I had left a bolt in closer to my side. I felt a hell of a pressure and yanked my hand out. The bumper clamped down on my ring and would have more then likely removed my finger as it was sharp between there and the sheet metal. Bent the ring pretty good also.

I guess I'm in the minority, I never take mine off.

I don't wear one anymore. After I was docking my boat I grabbed the top of the pole on the dock to get out and damn near ripped my finger off.

My wedding ring sits in the safe. I wore it the first six months we were married but it spent more time in my pocket instead of my hand at work so I finally just threw it in the safe.

Mine is in a safe as well. If someone can't tell I'm married by looking at me, then the ring isn't going to help. Mine wound up there because my shooter's gloves were too tight and uncomfortable with it on

I take mine off when I rock climb but that's about it.

I take mine off every night before bed, and any time I'm working on something or out hunting/Camping/hiking....

[Pokulski-Blatz]

I haven't worn mine in a long while. I honestly dont even know where it is right now.

Could've been worse.

Jewelry and electrical anything can be bad news. I've heard stories of guys in the automotive field shorting a gold wedding band with battery or alternator leads and literally burning the finger off. No bracelets, watches, rings, etc.

I'm the same.

Dislocated my finger once and had the ring been on, it'd had to been cut off and my finger in general would have hurt more.
