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. /s

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... - CA-G Can-Am Girls Kick Ass!
