Reggie, I hope that was humor and you actually did not get hurt that bad. I did have to send 2 folks off to hand surgeons this winter to have fingers and tendons and such reattached. One guy was actually being filmed by the local news when he tried to clear some snow out of the chute with his hand and got it ground up pretty bad. I try to be incredibly careful with the thing and do not let the kids near it.
