We had an apprentice who heard us dicussing the puncture method for relieving pain and saving the nail. When he got around to mashing a finger he went straight for the Pedestal Drill and promptly drilled a 1.5mm hole right through nail AND finger. Made a bit more of a mess I can tell you. Of coursethis incident was never ever mentioned again.......

Rich,
I can't stop laughing. the same thing happened at the Paynesville Slip yard whilst I was first aid officer there. Made quite a mess, but not as much of a mess as the apprentice who chopped his hand off at the wrist using a band saw the wrong way.
Rick.

Ryan,
It was a fingernail nail not a thumbnail.
