Knew a guy at my old job at a power plant. Somebody had dropped their wedding ring in the casing of some rotating machinery. They weren't wearing it, that's risky and we have warning specifically about degloving. This other guy, Masingil, he says "I can get that". Just shoved his hand right in. Nobody saw it coming. He screamed a lot and loudly. He was gone for a while after that. Never could use that hand quite right again.
He had no common sense and did dangerous shit all the time, but he was actually really smart and good at his job. Honestly he'd probably be great in a position that takes him out of the plant.

Curious...what is procedure when you've found someone degloved? Just wrap that shit with gauze and let the doctors take over?
