I wish I had pics to give you, but I have seen some real nastys over the the years. I took the whole palm of my hand off by forgeting I had just welded one peice and finished another, then picked up the water hose to cool the last one while leaning on the first. I had a 3-4 blister 1" high in 5 minutes. the doc had to cut away all the damage and cover it with siver Iodine. took about 8 weeks to heal.
a guy at work caught his thumb in the belt sander and ripped the last 1/2 of it off. it was not re-attachable so they shortened his thumb and pulled the skin over it.
my good buddy Elmer found I had an open hoist plate under a motorhome I had in the air at the dealer, he fell in with one leg and ripped his hip up so bad he was forced to retire.
one of the other nastys was a good friend who had his own shop, he had a hired a guy helping out and was almost killed when the guy was supposed to brake torque a van in the shop to test the engine mount while dave watched for which one was broke. he was pinned to the work bench and crushed. he was pushed againest a bench made out of train track that had a 1/2" steel top(it didn't give) he was hospitalized for 6 months and his whole mid section was black & blue(even his wewe)he was lucky that his spine wasn't broken.
I had a close call when I dropped a F800 ford on my hand, it had me pinned down for a few minutes till my friends got it off me. if it had moved another inch it would have sheared off my fingers on my hand
