Spotted Dog:
I was on a 12' ladder when it kicked. Had enough since to hold on. :o
JW_Halverson:
Glad to hear you may recover full use. I once cut 95% of the tendon that straightens up the bent thumb. I was pretty wigged out for a while, but then decided to let it go. It would heal or not heal, like the doc said. It healed.
As for shaman scars on the chest. I once blocked our great horned owl into her jump box so she could not bounce out. I was late rigging the birds for a school program and was not allowing her to take her time climbing up on glove. She lept up, hit me in the man-boobs with both fully extended sets of talons. Luckily she only was bluffing and bounced off without gripping down. Had she gripped, I would have an impressive set of Sun Dance scars!!! (She lives the saying "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on MY part.)

A kevlar glove like used in carving, the higher grade is a good option to prevent most of these type of injuries
StevenT:
Bubby, I never heard of Kevlar gloves, but I'm all for anything that will prevent an injury like these. Looked them up on Amazon and see a bunch of different ones and they aren't that expensive. I'm wondering what style works best. What brand glove do you use?
mullet:
I've tried Cut Gloves, they tend to let small flakes fall between the weave. My palm had small Obsidian flakes slicing away when I took them off.
