This poor guy got his fingers in the sprocket when he crashed.  I've seen/heard of wrists and fingers getting screwed up on a crash, but......

This post is on Betarider.org and not for the weak stomach!  Ouch!

Sorry if you can't see the image now, apparently photobucket took it off for offensive reasons.  The poster might put it up again in a different way towards the end of the above thread.

I had a minibike way back when even stupider than I am now. The chain was very loose and came off. I tried putting the chain back on the rear sprocket with the motor still running. My fingers got caught between the chain and sprocket. Luckily the chain was very loose as stated. I still have a few scars on my fingers to show for it.
Did I ever tell you: " I HATE MUD!" ?

Had a rider a couple of years ago at one of my sons hare scrambles do the same thing,
finger through hole in sprocket took it right off. They put his finger back on but I haven't seen the outcome.
Ouch

The lesson here is, people missing a few cogs should not play with sprockets.
