Worst cut you ever saw?

The worst was my dad,
He was trimming a pepper tree in the back yard,he was working with a chainsaw and he was up on the ladder,Im watching him trim these small branches and all of a sudden I hear ahhh ****,very calm his says take the chainsaw,he steps down and says with a laugh that the ugliest damn cut ive ever seen.
When I saw it,it looked like his arm exploded meat and flesh hanging everywhere all the way to the bone on his forearm,He yelled im NOT going to no damn doctor,he finally went and the doctor was in shock,he said he was going to really have to work on this one cause its going to be hell to try and stitch it up.But all is well now,Never once did my pops complain yell scream cry nothing,Me I almost crapped my pants.
 
When I was in high school my friends and I were out in the woods behind the high school near our homes. We were messing around and my friend tom found a golf ball. He asked me to borrow the kabar so he could cut it in half. Well I handed it to him, but told him he would end up cutting his finger off. He just snickered at me and took the knife. well he positions the golf ball between two fingers and takes a full swing to cut it in half. to say the least all that was cut in half was his fore finger!!! so my friend steve and I wrapped it, put it in ice and took him to get his finger sewn back on.
 
If hatchets count,than a guy who was killed by taking one to the head.Then there was a store owner who had his sword taken away from him and used to remove one of his hands and open up his face.
 
1) Guy in my dad's machine shop ran his hand into the slitting saw set up on his mill. Pushed a part into it using his hand instead of the handle on the machining fixture. Big jagged cut almost to the bone from the tip of his thumb to the middle of his wrist.

2) Idiot in my machine shop class back in college. Rather than fastening his workpiece onto the magnetic chuck on the surface grinder and using the dials, this guy just puts the block down on the surface of the chuck and pushes it in by hand. He also pushed his hand into the grinding wheel. Never came back.

:( :rolleyes:
 
I don't think it exactly counts as a cut, and I didn't see it until after it had been stitched up. It does involve the splitting of skin though and it was still the worst injury I've seen. When I was 8 a group of people were sledding. I ended up running my sled into a stone picnic table. My head hit so hard that it popped my left cheek open all the way through. Now I have a 2 1/2 - 3 inch scar on my left cheek. 105 stitches, 4 days in the hospital, a lot of dental work and one really mean black eye. Now I ususally just tell people I got it in a knife fight, me against three other guys, and they should've seen the other guys. ;)
 
In the 1990 i was working secuirty at a intercity hospital.On that night i was posted in the E.R..The medics brought in a lady with her throat cut.One medic was working on her,so i had to help take her out,and into the E.R..Some how they were able to save her,but man that will make you think.
 
When I was 9 I watched my grandpa take a spring off an old ford when it opened up really quick and ripped the majority of tissue away from his tibia. He gimped his way intothe house and took out his old timer and cut off the mangled flesh so he could have a clean area to work with. He promptly handed me an old Korean war suture kit and had me sew him up. The craziest thing I ever had to do. Since that time I have sewn myself and three friends up. I'm not sure if it was the blood or the fact that I was suturing my own grandpa that bothered me...but I will never forget him closing that bloody knife after "cleaning himself up".

Oh yeah..there was that time when I was a sad 16 year old who hated the world and was a little fond of boxcutters to the wrist...but that was a long time ago...and I dont remember much of the happenings, and after the reconstructive surgery..I now am without scars, but I am left with a very strong taste for life. :)
 
The worst cut I've had came from putting my foot through a glass coffee table top. My folks came running out thinking that all Hell had broken loose, while I'm standing in the middle of the living room saying "I'm fine, I'm fine". Then as I walked into the light I noticed that I had a slice running perpindicular to the side of my foot, and that I could see inside my foot. I left a bunch of blood spots as I limped back to my room to get a shirt on, much to the protest of my mom. Went to the hospital and got a few stitches. The weird thing was that there was no pain at all, even while it was healing.

Geezzz....

Do we have doctors around ? I believe they can tell you the 'unimaginable' ones... :eek:
 
One of the first "nice" knives I bought was an Emerson Mini and FS commander. One was a friends that placed an order with me. I was exited and was showing them to a couple of my buddies....First mistake. One of my friends kept nagging me to see one of them. I never gave in, but he grabbed it and I sorta let him play with it. He goes over to my little brother and starts taunting my bro while he's playing ps2. Out of nowhere my brother grabs the commander out of my friends hands(Don't ask me why:confused: )
Next thing I know he's yelling "I'm Gashed" several times. I never saw it happen and thought they were bull shitlng me or something. He then showed me his hand and my stomach turned. The inside of his fingers were mangled beyond what I expected. 4 hours and 10 stitches later we were all laughing about it. We always break his balls and yell "IM GASHED" just to piss him off :D
LESSON LEARNED: Don't give in to the ignorant SOB's that want to "play" with a knife of yours.
I still cringe when I think about it
:barf:
 
My father had a circular saw kick back on him and sliced parallel through his index finger and shatter the point off his middle finger. I changed the bandages for him. Looked like skinned bloody sausages. I never found out how many stitches it was. Once it healed, the skin was smooth like a burn victim's, and his finger was thick and clumsy after that.
 
Another bad cut I saw happen was in my younger days I was repairing a machine in a local factory. The machine next to me was red tagged also. One of the production workers stepped up to the machine and started it up. I told him to shut it off, red tag, double tripping, ect. The dummy told me his foreman told him to go ahead and run the parts. Again I told him to shut it off, but he just kept on running parts. He would hand insert a steel rod onto a die and the top ram would come down and stamp a U in the rod. I looked over again to tell him to shut it off and saw him reach in to retreve a part just stamped. Yep. It came right back down and cut all four fingers off his right hand clear up to his knuckles. They say you don't feel it too bad when your fingers are cut off because of the severed nerves. NOT TRUE! The knucklehead really did suffer, and was in shock before the ambulance arrived. They probably call him "Lefty" now.
 
Not for sure if this would be called a cut , but here goes. At the end of 1986 ; my uncle was digging post holes with a tractor." rear mount digger" The power take off shaft was an enclosed type. A neighbor was running the tractor. My uncle slipped and his sleeve was caught by the turning shaft. Neighbor shut tractor down fast, but not before it had torn his right arm almost off. Neighbor had to cut about 1 inch if flesh to free him from the shaft. uncle then ran to the house carrying his mangled arm. less than a cup of blood. Arm was too damaged to save. Calmest person was my uncle through it all
 
Worst cut I ever saw was the 7" KA-BAR stuck into my chest just before I blacked out....

JUST KIDDING :D

Actually my exposure to viscious cuts has been pretty tame, the worst in memory being the time I almost chopped the pad of my index finger off with my Kershaw Blackout on accident.
While I guess that's nothing to really write home about... there sure was alotta blood...
