High speed treaded wheel safety warning

[Lightfoot26]

here is a picture of me after the 6 hour bus ride home from last years regional in Duluth, I got a little friendly with our shooter wheel whilst testing auton in the pit... it was spinning 2500 RPM. It happened all of a sudden and I calmly disabled the robot and said "THAT HURT LIKE A SON OF A B****" My head mentor turned around to tell me to watch my language when he realized my hand was covered in blood. I put my other hand on the table to brace myself and said "I think I'm gonna pass out" I looked down, saw blood squirt from the tip of my finger and woke up in another mentors lap. As I awoke seconds later, the AWESOME medical staff at the regional was there tending to my finger, I signaled for a freshman to grab my phone and I promptly update my Status "Ouch!" lol I hopped up, ran out to queue with a wrapped up finger, and we won our last qual. Got back home, the wound had been opened too long to stitch and it was broken in like 3 places. Its healed now, but there is still some scaring and my nail is weird. I will now have a reminder of my time with FRC FOREVER! lol
