Wife’s uncle is missing his right forearm to the elbow...farm equipment... my grandfather and my cousin were setting fence posts one day, somehow my cousin didn’t see that Gramps stopped for a moment with his hand on top of the post...took off two fingers with the post maul.
When I first started working in the machine trades in the early seventies it was common to see older machinists from the line shaft days missing fingers, very common.
There was a guy I once worked with who lost both his little fingers to ouch presses. Scuttlebutt was both incidents were intentional...for the money.
