Purdy, glad you posted that picture. It's a good reminder that you should always remove rings and bracelets when working around electricity. The amps from a car battery can burn the finger off if the ring shorts it to ground.

My friend lost a finger last summer while climbing down the ladder on his cement truck. The ring got caught on something and he slipped down.
