I've seen that happen first hand, (excuse the pun). Young guy starting out wanted to be a mechanic real bad, and did the same thing with a tractor lug nut. Held the hand down on a work bench and removed the nut the same way it went on. Other than the skin and a bit of flesh being cut up into curly Q's, he survived and healed up without lasting damage. Took all the desire of being a mechanic away. Ended up selling insurance and real estate, which he still does.

You don't get old and say "I wished I had..." You get old and say "I'm glad I did."

and a gold chainer who stood around watching the real rodder have fun [P

A word to the wise, Never put your finger where you would'nt put your @$#% and you will keep them forever.
Just something to think about before sticking fingers where they should'nt be. Ouch.....

He lives in an "Altered State"!
I worked as a ER nurse for ten years. That's not the worst place I've seen a big nut spun onto a guy. use your imagination. You will be able to walk normal again in a few minutes

Well thats good that it wasn'tyou. Still seems to he pretty good advice!
Yes it does.... As soon as he reached down I yelled Noooooooo but all I got out was n*BOOOOOOMMMM* he jumped back grabing his hand and right then I knew it wasn't pretty. If I recall it bassicly skimmed his thumb and pulled the nail off or pretty close. He lost feeling in it and it's been almost a year ago
Neverdone
He's not done yet...
takes a special kind of people to do something like that!!!!! Personally when I get a nut stuck in a socket I usually put it back on the bolt a quarter turn then pull it off but ya know.....
