Peter, I got lucky and still have most of my pinky, its just 1/2 inch shorter, cut the tip lengthwise. I was ripping siding with a radial arm without any guard on, got distracted by my boss driving up to the work site and reached in to grab the board, well the blade grabed me but since I had gloves on, winter, and I reached instantly, only the tip got sliced.

L&I gave me 800.00 for the loss. It now really doesn't function as much of a finger and the grip isn't very good on that hand, kinda sucks. I can't imagine a hand without a finger, not worth the money gain.
