Sweet, the mangled digits thread.
I don't think I have any significant ones, but here's a lacerated finger I got last year on a job. It was from a sharp jagged thin piece of sheet metal, it was a big ol' flap of flesh hanging there. I was dripping blood all over the place, the bathroom that I washed up in looked like one of Dexter's kill rooms after I was done.
And from the same job, here's a vending machine with both Coke and Pepsi in it

My dad dropped a bowling ball on his big toe sometime in his 20's. Turned black, fell off, never grew back...until he stubbed that toe on a crooked sidewalk slab, 20 years later. 
Err, sorry. The toenail fell off and grew back. If he could regenerate body parts, that would be a whole different story

His toe fell off and then grew back 20 years later? Am I the only one who's scared?

Now that we've all had fun with our pictures ....
Let's not overlook the role of the hammer in this event.
When I changed from the 'traditional' style hammer, to an electricians' hammer, I had lots more misses and finger strikes.
When I switched to Estwings "Star Trek" redesign of the fiberglass handled hammer, my hit rate greatly improved. It's almost impossible for me to miss. http://www.a1toolstore.net/catalog/21in%20estwing.jpg I'm told you have a similar improvement with some of the titanium and axe-handle hammers.
Speaking of Estwing ... while I might not want to be banging in thousands of nails every day with one, I've always been sold on the fact that there is no way that the head is ever coming loose. This cannot be said for anything with a wood handle. Let anything with a wood handle bounce around my truck for a few seasons of soaking and drying and the head will be loose- and the 'repair' wedges are a very short-lived fix.

Soak the head head in linseed oil and it will tighten up rather than over compressing the wood fibres with another wedge.
