I feel sorry for the guy, even though it was stupid. Sucks to be him. I've done some dumb shit myself, though it hasn't yet cost me digits.

Wow... that is rough.  Note to self... keep fingers.

Just couldn't help but start humming "the stubby index finger" song....
Stubby index finger,
Tappin' out your code,
Stubby index finger,
Lookin' like a toad...

Haven't we all.  Let's show him some mercy, folks

Ow ow ow.. man

This is exactly why when I'm teaching folks how to do shit I over emphasize NEVER do chain work with the bike running.  Just the momentum of the wheel being spun by hand can do a lot of damage if you get sucked in... and we can see that and engine even at idle does bad bad things... ungh.

Poor guy, that's a hard way to learn the lesson.

I'm always afraid I'll catch my finger in the sprocket even if I'm just rotating the wheel on my own. I can't imagine trying to do it with the motor running.

its not fun when the bike is off, because you are pretty well caught and it might be awkward to get the other arm around to move the wheel the other direction. I can't imagine the horrible feeling involved here.

It's damn near miraculous I've survived some of the shit I've done. It's good to remember that before piling on this guy.

That forum is supportive, I like the next comment down. That's why I'm apart of DMF where if I'm seriously hurt I won't be ridiculed.
