Large Arm Gash

This is from somebody on Facebook, who gave me their permission to post it on here.

He was grinding/leveling a concrete floor and the blade shattered. It bounced off the floor and into his arm.

The picture posted is the only one he took.

That is quite a satisfying-looking cut.

I had cutting disc do exactly the same thing but luckily it didn't hit me. I don't know where it went as I couldn't find it. I always wear my PPE now for everything.

Re: Large Arm Gash

The tattoo actually makes it easier to suture this laceration. The doc can use the tattoo to realign the skin edges. As long as he sutures the wound properly and doesn't put too much tension on the wound edges it shouldn't look bad at all in six month.

Re: Large Arm Gash

Shitty project to be working on. Leveling/grinding a concrete floor?
That floor must have been majorly fucked up.
I'm around all kinds of other trades and can't say I've heard of and body trying this one.
Was he trying to use a concrete saw like a stump grinder?
Looks like it'll be sore as fuck to heal up.

Re: Large Arm Gash

Wouldn't it cause nerve or tendon damage where it is lacerated?
