I saw a kid last year, his first day on the job operating an industrial press. Trimmed back the tips of 8 fingers at once.

He should do fine, all of the amputations were past the last joint but he wanted to be a Marine and was scheduled to start basic that year.

Blessing in disguise maybe. He could have been hurt a whole lot worse in the Marines. A high school friend of mine was killed while working on a tank in Germany back in the 80s.
