This dude had his toe completely shredded by a lawnmower

I’ve featured a few gross injuries on Rampant over the years, mainly to the genital, but this one is up there among one of the most brutal.

 

Max Chambers was working at his landscape gardener job when he suffered a horrific accident involving a lawn mower and his big toe. As he was mowing a grass bank, he slipped and his foot got trapped underneath the lawnmower where it ended up totallj shredding his big toe. Please be warned, the following pics as pretty graphic. Maybe don’t scroll through whilst you’re having lunch.



Damn, that’s made me feel quite queasy. Here’s what Max had to say about his ordeal: 
 

Now we don’t always wear PPE, sometimes we wear trainers when on domestic sites such as people’s gardens as we are on our feet all day.
This time I slipped going down a grass bank with the mower and both my feet slipped under the mower and my hands gripped tight of the handle with the safety engine stop, and so the blade came round and gave a pretty heavy wack to my left big toe.

Straight after it happened I got off my ass and looked down in shock to see me bone and blood and I had to run about 20 seconds to my work mates to get help. 4 days in the hospital, I had tendons re attached, a “K wire” put in to keep my toe together, and a whole lot of stitches to stop it from falling apart.
 
2 weeks later I had a skin graft to cover the still hole in my toe, now to this date, I am still waiting to get the pin removed!And no I will never have a toenail again haha.

 
He seems pretty chilled about the whole thing. At least he’s got an interesting story to tell at parties and it’s certainly something to show the grandkids one day; “hey kids, wanna see something gross?” I guess steel-toe boots are the way to go if you’re a landscape gardener.
