Busting knuckles

[Drich]

was a diesel/refrigeration mechanic for almost 15 years.. the worst I had was trying to roll on a 20ft fan belt I snaked it all through the system and got to the crank and it would not go on. rather than take a proper screwdriver and pop it on I took a short pry bar/lady finger and bumped the engine over. did not even make one revolution with the starter... just bumped the starter and it grabbed the lady finger pry bar which pulled my thumb into the pulley wiped it around and the lady finger pry bar and my thumb came back at my face along with the rest of my hand and hit me in the eye so hard it staggered me. I immediately grabbed my thumb cause I though it was cut off/partially anyway. and slowly open my hand an it was throbbing blood but it was all there! got a paper towel taped it up super tight finished everything I was supposed to do there and like an hour later opened it all back up and super glued the wound shut. then light bandage. there is less of a scare there than any place I have ever received stitches.
