Dirk's Accident

Just yesterday I was talking to my dad and brother about how painful it can be to catch your finger between two neodymium (rare earth) magnets, and that was just talking about little ones. Then, today, what should cross my aggregator but these very graphic images of Dirk’s accident. He had his fingertip crushed off when two of his large magnets slammed together. He thought he was safe because they were almost two feet apart before it happened. (via waxy)
