Title: Dumbell accident mutilates my middle finger! (PICS)
Post by: figgs on May 19, 2007, 12:09:49 PM
I was finishing up my last set of incline dumbell presses and when I dropped the weight it came crashing down above another dumbell that was on the floor underneath the bench and the only thing between them was my middle finger. At first I just felt like I banged it, nothing unusual, but then I looked at it and was practically able to see right through it. The tip of my finger was almost completely severed and was crushed beyond recognition. One of the local gym monsters said "don't worry, it's just a little blood" as I held up my hand in shock. I said to him "just a little blood? Wanna see it up close?" and showed him what was left of my finger and he told me I should go to the hospital. I realized he was absolutely right and I wondered before I walked away if I should look to see if any of my finger was on the floor. I walked to a paper towel rack and wrapped up my bleeding finger then walked to the main desk and told the guy I had to go to the hospital for an emergency. At this point I felt like i was goin to faint and sat down within the desk area. I thought I was having a panic attack but I was later told it was just stress-related anxiety. The desk man called the gym supervisor, who came and called for an ambulance. He then took out a first-aid kit and wrapped up my finger in a gauze.

I hung out for a while until the ambulance arrived. Some friends got my things from the locker and I was getting anxious to see medical attention. I called my mom who came soon after the ambulance had. The ambulance drove me to a trauma center where I didn't wait too long for a doctor, thank goodness. A hand surgeon drove there to stitch me up after I had x-rays. He gave me anesthesia and cleaned it up. Then he got to work, sewing back on the hanging piece of flesh. He had to pull off my fingernail to sew up the cut, which extended to behind the nail. While watching this in awe and fascination I couldn't help but imagine what on earth that would feel like if I wasn't completely numb! But he did a wonderful job putting together my finger. He even sewed back on my nail, saying it would act as a splint.

I was grateful to have medical attention of such quality, but when the numbness wore off I became in excrutiating pain. A nurse gace me 2 pills of perkicet, but it didn't help too much. I'm now currently stoned off vicadin, which is much more effective. I'm going to smoke some weed to improve the high I already have, of course. :)

I'm going to be out of the gym for a while, which is the worst part of it all. I'll ease back on in sometime soon. But since the doc said there was a 20% chance I'll need amputation I'm going to be extra, extra careful. In regards to that percentage, I have good news. When I unwrapped the gauze this morning I learned that I still have feeling at the tip of the finger, instead of a dead lump of flesh. I shouldn't expect to lose my finger. :) Plus my chest is sore from the workout lol.

I'm just a soldier of iron...

It was my last set and so I chose to go light to really burn out my chest so I did the wee 70 pounders. Don't get me wrong I'm not weak enough to regularly press those. My best was 105x7. Not too bad but not quite enough to impress the getbig assholes.

Lucky your gym is right across the street from LI Jewish memorial hospital ....it happened at LA fitness right ??


You're right, but if I went there I would have been in the waiting room all night long. I'm lucky I went to a trauma center. Very, very lucky,

Thanks, man! I'm trying to play warcraft without my middle finger lol it's hard. Starcraft looks great but I don't play anything else besides wow.

Thanks for the concern guys! BE CAREFUL!

I had a similar injury occur when helping move a tv set into a moving truck. it fell right onto the finger next to my pinky on my left hand. It took nearly a month to fully heal. make sure you don't do anything to aggravate the injury now. take at least two weeks off from training. if not, an infection can set in which could have disastrous consequences. anyway, the damn injury ended up costing me over $400- and that's with health insurance!

Cool stories! Of course I'm the only sick fuck who would snap some shots of the injury.

So I've been thinking about how to get back onto a workout routine and I figured it would be something like this:

legs- same deal (minus SLDL)
back-machine pullovers
chest- presses and machine flyes
bis- cable curls using wrist straps
shoulders- presses and machine side laterals
tri-presses
cardio- (anything but jump rope)

I'm going to try to stick to machines so I don't have to tighten my grip for anything like balance or whatever.

Any other suggestions?

Thx

OK. Keeping dumbells strewn all over the floor causing you to smash your finger, almost faint, call your mom and rush to the hospital in an ambulance is hardcore. Got it.

I admit my fault with the dumbells but what do you want me to do, run to the trauma center which neither I nor my mom knew the location of for cardio? No, maybe I could have just used a stapler on one of the trainers' desks and stapled the hanging piece of flesh back on and then begin my bicep workout.

I wasn't expecting to have a small anxiety attack. I've never even had one before so I didn't know what the hell was happening to me. I called my mom because I'm an 18 year old high school student who lives with his mom. I think she of all people should be informed of the situation. I'm glad she was there with me.

It's a great story though and I hope you're back lifting hard soon.

Calm down Figgaro.

It wasn't about what you did. I just didn't see anything hardcore about it like some other guys did.

It's a great story though and I hope you're back lifting hard soon.

Watch those dumbells!

Thx dude. I think I was cool about it even though I almost fainted for a sec but I was more concerned than anything because it looked like I might lose the finger so I didn't fuck around.

Hey you got nine more!

But I guess it is the most important one  ;D

I know a dude that fainted one time after getting a bad cut on his arm. We laughed like hell but it turns out that he wasn't a p*ss but when you hit an artery it can make you feel terribly sick and light headed. So don't worry about it.

what would've been hardcore is if you smeared war stripes on your face with the blood, chewed off some meat off your finger for some much needed protein, finished your workout and then slapped the persian queer in the corner wearing tapout shorts.

Back in high school I saw a kid loose his middle finger in the gym. He didnt let go of the dumbells and there was a 25lb plate on the floor next to him. The dumbell popped it off so fast and blood squirted like in a f*&king movie! :o  I almost fainted and wandered out of the gym right thru a basketball game. LOL  Hope that shit heals up fast for you bro.

I wasn't expecting to have a small anxiety attack. I've never even had one before so I didn't know what the hell was happening to me. I called my mom because I'm an 18 year old high school student who lives with his mom. I think she of all people should be informed of the situation. I'm glad she was there with me.


sounds like you went into shock, not an anxiety attack.

about two years ago i was doing box squats and the index finger on my left hand got crushed between the bar and the support hook. cracked it right in half between the second and third knuckle, still got a scar there from it.

i hardly felt it, but i got dizzy and had to sit down for about five minutes or so, another guy in the gym told me it's just the body's natural reaction. i drove home after that and was too much of a moron to do anything beyond tape it up tight, so it's a little cockeyed now, but the "anxiety attack" is entirely normal when something like that happens unexpectedly.

Its never good when you have to take time out of the gym, so I hope you recover quickly.  I broke my finger in the gym once.  Some guy had put the pin in the weight stack so the top plate was already lifted up.  I put my hand on the rest of the stack to pull the pin out and BANG, crushed my finger, breaking it cleanly across the joint.  Its still wonky to this day!!!

I'm truly sorry to hear about your accident big boy, but a few things...

One of the local gym monsters said "don't worry, it's just a little blood" as I held up my hand in shock. I said to him "just a little blood? Wanna see it up close?" and showed him what was left of my finger and he told me I should go to the hospital. I realized he was absolutely right...


WTF...  It took the profound wisdom of this steroid pumping freak to set you straight.  This wasn't a damn paper-cut.

The desk man called the gym supervisor, who came and called for an ambulance. He then took out a first-aid kit and wrapped up my finger in a gauze.


The desk man couldn't have called the ambulance himself or wrapped the finger up on his own?  WTF, was he a damn retard?

I called my mom who came soon after the ambulance had.


You fucking pussy!  Real soldiers of iron would have shrugged it off!  You obviously aren't part of the animalpak crew, pussy!

In all honesty, shit happens, heal well and then go back and crank out a few reps with the 105's to make you feel better.  Next time, leave a shovel under the bench or something for good measure, report back again with more pictures.

That's pretty typical of dumbass kids working public-contact service type jobs...  if you ask them anything outside of their narrow transactional focus they have no ability to engage their brain...  they must seek someone higher up who actually has a triple-digit IQ.

I was in shock for the first few seconds. I just looked down and my fingertip was barely there. Totally unexpected!

I figured the desk boy was either uneducated in emergency situation reactions or it was policy for him to alert the attention of a higher-up. Either way their responses were fast and I was taken care of with top priority. I have to thank them when I see them again.

Thank you and I will be back, but pressing the 110s instead.  :)

A similar thing happened to me a few years back. I was warming up with some 10 pounders and then, without thinking, I went to put them back on the rack and jammed my finger between the dumbell and the rack. Not nearly as bad as your accident, although, the tip of my finger did get to the size of a big grape and then went all black and numb for a couple of weeks.

Heh, I once snapped my arm because I didn't want to lose an arm wrestle. Now that's hardcore.  :-\

Anyways, good luck with the recovery!

Ok figgs my man take care of that thing! Now just chill and play warcraft for a while! Look at the new starcraft game that is coming out!

Take it easy and heal up Figgs.  Follow your doc's advice if he says to lay off for awhile.  The gym will always be there for ya.

Be prepared for heaps of sympathy from the girls.  You're gonna be busy.

i always lower those bitches to my knees and put 'em back on the rack.

i do the same since i did the same as figgs, but for my luck i hit the dumbells on the floor with the iron between my fingers and the plate on the sides. The sound was so loud i just iimagined if my hand was there i would break it...
 never throw dumbells where you cant see where it is falling (can hit someone elses foot...saw that many times LOL)

 One of the worse accidents i saw was a guy doing dumbell pullovers...when he was bringin the dumbell to his legs to rack it, the weight was too much and he droped the dumbell in his 'package' insted of his leg...It was not on the target, but lets say his workout was finished for the day LOL
