@@QuixoticDucky The one I saw was a truck driver climbing out of his cab and his wedding band caught on on of the grab handles. All the skin was stripped off the finger and the tendons and bones were exposed. A neurosurgeon was able to fix most of the nerves and skin grafts made it look normal again. Construction and factory workers might be most at risk but it can happen to office workers, too. I know of another time it happened when a ring caught on the drawer handle on a file cabinet.
Love my Whoop! I’ve learned a lot from it!
Nice!
All good ideas.
Thanks!
I'll skip the Oura Ring. I've seen the results of a "degloving" accident. The risks outweigh any benefits.
But couldn't that happen with any ring?
@@amplifiedimpact Yes but you mentioned the Oura Ring for tracking your health. A smartwatch will never strip your finger to the bone.
@@zone4garlicfarm So you're problem is with rings generally, not the Oura ring specifically, yeah?
How often do degloving accidents happen? Are they under circumstances you are likely to encounter?
