Numerous blokes lost fingers when jumping down off stakeside trucks, and rings on those fingers caught on protruding bolt shanks"
Yep!

There was a guy at Lindholme in 1954 lost a finger dropping out of a Varsity when the steps had been removed.

At the time I wore a signet ring that a friend had always admired, so I sold it to him!

When I got engaged my wife to be wanted to buy me a ring, I said no, buy me some gold cuff links.

I still have the wife, cuff links and all my finger
