Who wants to see what my thumb looks like after I slipped and pushed it into the 2x72 grinder, which was set up for fastest metal removal... NSFW.

Even worse, I was pushing hard into it with a very small point of contact!Then I realised it's not a question of touching at all - it's full-on contact. So I imagined falling off a motorbike at that speed without any protective clothing. Hell, no clothing at all!!! Even just thinking about my hands or knees hitting the road at that speed scares the crap out of me.
Oh man... Ouch indeed!
It looks pretty bad - glad I'd already eaten. Hope you didn't hit bone and that you heal quickly.
You said you did the math - me too. 6 m/s or ~20 ft/s isn't that fast. It's just under 22 km/h or ~13.5 mph. I thought that's not so bad. I could easily touch the road for half a second while travelling at that speed. Then I realised it's not a question of touching at all - it's full-on contact.

Another friend of mine cut off his right index finger on a bandsaw. That didn't really heal.
My uncle cut his left index finger the long way down past the second knuckle, right down the middle, with a table saw. Didn't feel it until he started seeing blood all over his workbench. Taped it up and drove to the hospital. They didn't have to amputate it despite most of the bone being gone. Just sewed it up down the middle. Now he just has a wonky finger.No ****

Took the same approach and came to the same conclusion, nope, not gonna look! Fast healing Kip!I decided to carefully read through the comments before opening the link; and nope, not gonna do it. Hope you get better soon Kippington!
Yep, I forgot to deburr it!It looks very rough around the edges, like maybe it was either 36 or 50 grit. Some 150 followed by 220 should smooth everything out...…. Sorry, had to.
