OK, so I’ve read this thread twice and do not see anywhere that explains how this happened. Please educate this poor boy....
 
Industrial injury. Working in a live 480 volt panel because no one on the crew is qualified to work under live open buss except pawpaw which is the same danged reason I got arc flashed in a 4160 volt gear explosion in Amarillo 8 years ago. I was exerting my will upon a wire by pulling upwards on it and it broke loose unexpectedly and the back of my right hand then slammed up into the inside edge of this 7 foot tall steel panel can (box) and immediately cut me open. Just before my plasma figured out an exit door had opened up I was moving my fingers and could see the white tendon doing it's thing. From the feel of it an hour later I may have cut the tendon a bit but not completely. Immobilized those fingers until ortho gets a look next week.
 
I had a already marinated the rat on a stick so grill it was . Plastic grocery bags used to shield from uncooked rat being skewered but grill too hot for them so black on bandage happened. Its 3 AM and I'm trying too mimic the motion and see if I can twist a throttle sitting in the living room. I could but braking is out.
 
I'll have to verbalize my greetings for a while. This gesture doesn't look quite right.

I feel for ya @JoseyR3Wales , as I sit here in Granny's Country Kitchen in Icard NC just 35 miles east of the the Devils Whip. Hope to find some twisties today :)

Your doing good, from experience your quite lucky, nothing worse then asking the doctor if he can so the finger end back on to look like the one next to it. That way it looks like ya cutt them both off at the same time, and not look stupid twice. Don't ask me how I know these vital things :)
 
That sounds like a lot of fun. I’m jealous. Make sure you get home in one piece.
