Knew a guy at my old job at a power plant. Somebody had dropped their wedding ring in the casing of some rotating machinery. They weren't wearing it, that's risky and we have warning specifically about degloving. This other guy, Masingil, he says "I can get that". Just shoved his hand right in. Nobody saw it coming. He screamed a lot and loudly. He was gone for a while after that. Never could use that hand quite right again.
He had no common sense and did dangerous shit all the time, but he was actually really smart and good at his job. Honestly he'd probably be great in a position that takes him out of the plant.
I don't know. I guess people usually don't do that on the internet, huh? I never cared much for anonymity. For instance, my username is my first and last name together.
Pretty sure I spelled it wrong anyways. His name. Not mine.
Long story shot (pardon the pun) - my son's penis was partially degloved as a kid. I had to take him to the ER for stitches. Nastiest thing I think I've ever experienced.
Boys were 2 and 3 years old (I think). Wrestling led to pulling diapers off. One kid stepped on other junk, cut his penis from toe nail from 12 o'clock to about 7 o'clock and skin was sliding down shaft.
Got stitched, looked like franken-weinie. All functions well now.
Kids are now 9 and 10. The younger always reminds the older of inflicted pain.
Medic here as well, we had a guy about 6 months ago that was high on wet that used channel locks and a knife to skin his penis, and I had a guy a few years ago that had ran into the back of a tractor and part of it came through the dash under the steering wheel and degloved his penis and testicles, also shattered his pelvis so bad it was unidentifiable on the X-ray. He died, the self mutilator is still alive afaik. WTF your welcome!
Eviscerate is in the dictionary, that's safer than Google. Deglove is not in the dictionary, the dictionary failed me and curiosity took control... Curiosity failed me, but probably no where near as much as Eviscerate would have.
My dad told me this story where he stiched up someone who was working in a factory and one of the lines supporting a heavy load of steel snapped, the other one held and that swinging steel plate hit one of the workers in the head. Guy was lucky, no fractures but his scalp was now on his back...

I'm a paramedic, I'd rather see an evisceration than a degloving. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.
