Due to the proximity of Christmas my wife offered to help paint the trim so the project could hurry along. She was standing on a folding stool. She moved the stool and didn't realize it was still partially folded when she stood back on it. Her weight caused the stool to open which pinched her finger in the gear.
She claims hearing a crack and found herself in an interesting position: she could not pull her finger out of the gear because she was standing on the stool. She needed to get off the stool and fold it in order to release her hand.
This resulted in a quick trip to Urgent Care for an xRay. Even though she was in a lot of pain, swelling, and the finger had changed color, the doctor reported she didn't break it.
My wife's attempt to save some time actually cost some time and added to the project's cost. But we are very happy that her finger is going to be fine and she is doing OK.
