Well said, Gelan!

People are always thinking up innovative ways to hurt themselves, like the guy that blew his jaw completely off, holding an M 80 in his mouth, or the mental giant that tried to launch a bottle rocket from his bum!

Wish I could forget those pixes. Sad

And yes, there was a bit of strangeness in the report.

In 1984 a fellow was showing me how to operate a 20 ton press at a new job, He lopped off all 4 fingers and some of the palm of the right hand because a safety device failed on the press Shocked . I quit working there that night. Sad

I find it hard to call a man stupid especially when he shares his accident with everyone so that they don't make the same mistake. He learned from his accident and hopefully we will too and that was the intent of his post.

No joke, about 1/2 of my left thumb is gone ... what's left is a friggin mess.

It's pretty hard to type, and I'm only posting because you never know, it might save somebody else a thumb. I was using a normal 2-handed grip, fired off a Cor-Bon DPX .460 and somehow the blast came violently out the side of the gun.

I haven't even had a chance to look at the gun, I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance .. and the gun is stil at my Uncle's house where we were shooting. But I can't imagine anything other than a gun or ammo failure.

Just be careful with those 460's. That case operates at such high pressure, it's just asking for trouble.

BTW, I bought my 460 new and had exactly 12 rounds through it."

I'm very sorry that you lost your thumb. Accidents always make one feel really dumb, generally, as it's happening the thought flies through your head, " man this is dumb". I personally would have never thought that that could or would have happened.
What really makes me think is that I May have let a friend take a shot, and he may have been holding the gun like that, and I might not have thought to warn them.
I would like to thank you for making the post of your accident, to warn others, knowing full well that some horses ass is going to make you out to be the fool.
