playing pickup steps working out great went up jumped off my feet went up and was like oh my gosh I can I'm gonna be able to dunk this so I remember throwing it down one-handed and and just coming down and everybody is so like amazed and
stuff everything else it's Raiders you're screaming and jumping hollering it was a blast and just really felt really good to be like one of the first people that I know that could dunk I remember so I was serving my LDS Mormon
mission and it was pee day and it was my 18th month mark and my companion had asked me well basically you've been out 18 months it's kind of an anniversary for you what would you like to do today and I said you know when I connect or go
to church I just wanna you know play games with some other missionaries maybe play some basketball stuff like that cool so we set it all up and it sounds good so you know grab the basketball we were
playing and I just remember it was game point and I had just crossed over one of the missionaries and I had a wide open lane to the hoop and I just went up and I said I'm going to slam this down you
know it's been a while since I've I've slammed this down and basically at this point the reason why I still had the ring on was we'd been playing dodge ball you know who would think you know I don't having playing dodge ball all day
I've been doing this I've been doing that nothing had happened and just I guess pure laziness or whatever may have come over me I just didn't take the ring off to play basketball it was a stainless steel CTR II and as I had this
open lane I remembered everything was normal you know took off when I slammed it something then like right after I put the ball through the hoop something was wrong I knew something was wrong and I came down and I it felt like
the only thing I remember saying was something's wrong something's really really wrong and I just had my hand my left hand over my right hand and basically the series of events that went from okay this happened to having my
finger amputated was you know they lightly they came in the doctor looked at it he's just like you know what we're we're in Cookeville Tennessee we're at a Regional Medical Center there is nothing that we can do for you here like just to
be honest like we're gonna have to airlift you or take you by ambulance to another hospital and he was ended up having to transport me to Berlin or medical facility in Chattanooga Tennessee now
looking back on on things it's like if I could have had at this point anything any other ring other than a stainless steel ring they might have been able to save my finger but because of the fit of the ring was stuck on the middle knuckle
they had to saw the ring off and it took him a very long time to get the ring off before they could transport me they basically put my hand in the stable condition what I would want the viewers to take away from this is if there's an
alternative take it meaning that if you have a tungsten ring if you have a stainless steel ring even if you have a one of those gold rings that must do this to like like my dad that older generation where this there's there's
options out there now and take the time to do some research and find out what's best for you in your situation you know for me in my day to day life the end zone ring is huge that that makes it that's that's a game changer for me it's
not just a sell special that's the honest truth if I would add something like this then maybe my life would a little bit different
