Why playing with magnets is bad.... [NSFW

BaconZombie

Dirk had an accident. Below is the X-ray showing his totally crushed finger tip. It took 1 1/2 hours of surgery to remove the shattered bones and repair the damage. Medically speaking, he crushed his right index finger distal phalange. The magnets had a 50 cm (20 inch) separation when they decided to fly together.

He is lucky that he only lost a finger tip as opposed to his whole hand. The block Neo below is about 4" by 2" by 2" N45 with a pull force of around 700 lbs (320 kg). The disk is about 3" dia. by 2 1/2" thick N45 with a pull force of about 400 lbs (180 kg). That is his fingernail and some of his finger tip caught between the magnets.

Gob****e. My mother used to say to me, she'd say

"Graham whatever you do in life always respect the Neodymium N45 and try to be a good boy."

Obviously Dirk had **** parents

I clicked into this thread presuming it would be of some woman wearing a metal dress and while playing with industrial strength magnets it gets ripped off in some manner of Carry-On type scenario.

Never have I been more disappointed.

Yeah, there is a Drity Sanchez angle on all this. "Go on, Pancho - put your dick on the magnet, there. I'll hold this one, I promise...."

As injury's go though it's not that bad. Plenty of people lose their fingertips.

If we didn't try we'd never learn. This is the cutting edge of science and innovation people.
