Ouch! Well done for not freaking! Probably more pissed off than anything! Thumbs are pretty useful. Hope it turned out not too bad. Highlights just how careful you have to be.
That was excruciating just to watch, I can only imagine what was going through his mind after the incident spontaneously happened in mere seconds, hope the lad is doing alright now.
@tezmellez this is an actual video of my dad. his name is Paul Baker. still has most of his thumb but the funny thing is tht his nail still grows so its like a talon lol
Kinda crazy! You know u can also read amazing dive stories on the myscubastory site. Type myscubastory into google and click on the first seach result !
Awesome I love this kind of shit. It isn't fake dont say it's fake because he's calm. Know your facts before you talk like a uneducated dipshit. Everyones not a wussy.

This is obviously a fake. Though he most likely had some kind of an injury in the original, there's no way it's so bad. He just looks at it calmly and doesn't even scream or something and even talks fairly normal. Also he still uses his hand, I really doubt someone would do that with such an injury.
I'd probably lose my consiousness if this happened to me..
@bluepearldiver But what the hell could have possibly caused such an injury? I mean it must be something really, really sharp or have an insane velocity to do that o_O
@UNNAM3D82 How could this be fake, Dude.... When you are a commercial diver you have to remain calm in ANY situation. He cut the top of his thumb of, Yes FUCKING OUCH haha, But he remained calm, Listened to the people on the surface and made his way back up to seek medical attention.
@UNNAM3D82 ya dude he just wanted to dive down in the middle of nowhere and fake his thumb coming off. these are the best special effects ive ever witnessed, your a fucking idiot.
An accident caused through lazy and stupid rigging practices. The load should have been on 'static' - how did they expect the diver to bolt-up a clamp with that much movement without breaking something?
I've hung one of those, on a platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Even if it's rigged from something stationary, a clamp like that can still move around from the surge. You just have to pay constant attention and keep OUT OF THOSE DAMN PINCH POINTS. I really feel for the guy. A finger tip or two, you can get along without, but it's hard to work without a thumb. Big, hard things just couldn't care less about our soft, little parts.
as someone mentioned below it was a boat landing stage module being installed, dont know the diver but the supv was big Larry P i think berkcam may know him or did im sorry to say. RIP
The diver is a brit called Paul and is a top bloke, although probably not quite as good on the playstation as he once was. The supervisor is Larry (RIP) who is very respected and liked within the industry.
The accident occured because the boat landing being installed was moving on the crane and the diver let his thumb get between the two half shells.
This is why I wanna be a diver..

I would not blame on the diver, since there are a lot of things offshore that can get out of control.
Crane operator can jerk the block accidentally, rolling vessel, bad rigging and so on.
