Weddings are times of great joy and happiness. Love is in the air, and everyone is feeling blissful and optimistic about the future.

Of course, one important aspect of a wedding is the promise rings that the couple exchanges. Wedding rings are a sign of love and commitment between two people, and they are worn by almost every couple these days.

There's just something special about wedding rings. They are a physical symbol of a couple's love and commitment to one another. They are special, and they mean a lot to the people who wear them.

Of course, wearing rings and bands also means always having that important piece of jewellery with you, regardless of the situation – and that includes not taking it off while doing chores or activities like gardening, yard work, and so on.

However, it turns out that this may not always be the best idea…

A recent incident has gone viral on social media after one man fell victim to an unfortunate accident involving his wedding ring, which left the area underneath where his band should have been severely injured.

The post, which was originally shared on Reddit, showed several photos that depicted the man's shocking injury.

The poor guy injured his finger while working on one of his boating projects, and apparently, the cause was his wedding ring getting caught on a live wire while he was changing a motor.

The resulting electric shock caused significant damage to his finger, hence the depleting flesh around his ring finger.

Please note members, the graphic image is below.

Many social media users assumed that the man had refused to remove his wedding band for quite a long time, leading to a wound caused by his ring digging in onto his finger for the months (maybe even years) prior to the accident happening.

However, those who have decades and decades of experience working with machinery and other high-power equipment universally suggested that the man should really take all necessary precautions to avoid accidents and injuries, including changing his outfit to an appropriate attire and even taking his ring off, when life conspires to put him in situations that are as safe as possible.

'Yep, I'm an electrician who's getting married later this year. I'm either gonna get a bunch of silicon bands or one made out of titanium so that it's non-conductive because it's a legitimate risk,' one user pointed out in the comments.

Another wrote: 'Rings are dangerous. I was throwing a tyre into the back of a truck and my ring caught on the rim. The ring had to be cut off after almost degloving me.'

A third chimed in: 'This happened to my uncle when he was trying to remove a battery from a car. The wrench went across the terminals and was touching his ring.'

The ring in the photo above was cut off from the finger of the injured man after the accident occurred, and a skin graft was required to save the damaged area from complete necrosis (skin decay).

Some users also expressed their gratitude to the experts who imparted their knowledge about the hazards of wearing rings while doing activities that involve electricity.

'I absolutely also just assumed it was from wearing the same ring without taking it off for decades and through a major weight change. Thanks for setting me straight, comments!' said one user.

Another wrote: 'Welding accidents makes a lot more sense than the prolonged wearing narrative my silly brain conjured up.'

Some could see the funny side of the discussion, with one comment reading: 'What we learn here about prevention? Don't get married.'

Key Takeaways

• A husband’s unfortunate wedding ring injury has sparked an intense reaction on social media.
• It is believed that the injury was caused by a live wire touching the man's wedding band.
• This led many tradesmen to share warnings about wearing jewellery while working with 'electronics, welding equipment, or heavy machinery'.
• Many people saw the humorous side of the discussion, with some joking that the takeaway was 'Don’t get married.'

Members, no matter how careful you are around machines, this incident serves as a lesson to never wear jewellery, especially rings and watches, when you're performing any kind of manual or risky manual duties.

If you're ever hesitant about what to do, erring on the side of caution is always the right choice - no one wants an injury, or worse, when it so easily could've been avoided.

So, the next time you've got some DIY projects up your sleeve, don't wear your rings! You would be doing your body a big favour.

My husband was an electrical engineer and a licensed electrician. When we were getting married, he wouldn't have a ring, particularly after he saw how one of his close friends handled it. The friend was a mechanical engineer who also spent a lot of time around dangerous machinery and electricity so instead of wearing his ring, he'd leave it on the turning indicator stick in his car all day - and then forget about it.

I thought if you work with electricity you take rings and watches off

The only thing I wore when working was a an earring as the ear was pierced so I tapped it up.

My husband was a motor mechanic and never wore his wedding ring to work. For social occasions only.

 

[Davo65]

Ive done similar myself, almost degloving my ring finger when climbing off the back of a truck.
Too late, well after the horse had bolted, I thought of wearing the ring on a chain around my neck.

 

[SGH]

My son got married last year and I was surprised he chose a titanium ring, however, now I think about it and it was mentioned in the article. He was working for the mines at the time, and when I was working on the workshop floor during my traineeship, I wore my ring around my neck. Ah the good old days, long gone.

Another way men can keep the wedding ring on their person is on a chain under shirts..
