Be careful with electric fans! ** GRAPHIC CONTENT **
If you can't stand the sight of blood, you better hit the back button!
I let a friend of mine borrow the Ford Taurus electric fan from my car since I'm switching it all out. Keep in mind he's been wrenching for many years and has lots of experience messing with these things. He was testing the fan on a workbench and didn't realize that he got his hand a little too close to the blades when it was going full tilt. Went clear to the bone on the pinky and 34 stitches total. He said it was the most painful thing he's ever done. I now call him "Franken-Fingers". The doc said there was some pieces of tissue missing. My buddy ended up finding those pieces later still in the fan shroud! The pictures below tell the rest of the story.
