That almost happened to Jim. Luckily, he stopped it in time. Considering he
already lost the top of his finger from another accident, he would have
barely been left with an index finger at all...

I've done this twice while cleaning my chain with a rag. Left a nice
blood trail from the roof down to my apt. No lost fingers -- mine
looked more like the first example. Freekin' hurt though.
The good news is that, by my "I don't learn anything unless I've f*ed
up the same way twice" rule (see "learning to ride with clipless
pedals"), I should be careful enough from now on not to let the second
example happen.

They should have added a # 4 to that list...

Never attempt to cruise while riding a fixie.

I almost donated all my front teeth to my stem the last time I tried to do
that...
