When I was a kid my aunt once told how the drum from her washing machine came loose, wrecking her furniture. I never looked the same at a washing machine running it's drum at 1200 to 1500 rpm.
My uncle actually lost 4 fingers on his saw table. He wanted to check if the motor wasn't overheating.

Well he jokes about it himself too, but I don't think he calls himself that no :P

Damn, this thread got uglier faster than even I could have thought. :-[

My hand went under the guard and I lost my ring, middle and index finger at the first knuckle down from the fingernails on my left hand. Luckily, I'm right handed.
I now have the most expensive home entertainment center you can imagine.

Hmmm....I've always hated the task of clipping fingernails, etc. This is a great tip, thanks. ;)

That is one great benefit. I does make you realize though how important finger nails are as armor against all kids of little things.
It took about a year for my brain to learn where my "new" finger tips were. Now, I can type and play the piano like nothing happened. The only time it is a hassle is when I'm trying to tie my son's shoes. For some reason, I can tie my fine but not someone elses.

Bummer... That is a nice entertainment cabinet, though! :)
