well let me explain what the pictures were like, the guy had his middle finger on his right hand sucked into the turbo inlet during spool up, and if you look at your middle finger right now and look at where your cuticle and your fingernail begin....THAT is where the poor guys finger got chopped off...and no it did not look like it was a clean chop either it was a very jagged chop with his bone sticking out of his flesh......there....is that a good enough explaination?

OK, I' ve cropped & resized the pics so they're small enough to be attached.

For the squeamish, don't look further :

That is some f@#$% s%^*. I messed up two of my fingers in the past year. One was thanks to spinning wheel. I cought my finger between the spoke and the Supra TT caliper while the wheel was spinning. That was real painful. Then the other time I was working on the garage opener. The chain jumped the track and hit my finger. Both times were real painful and took long time to heal. But they're 100% fine and back to normal now.
