I did it once and that was enough for me to be more careful!

A long time ago I was babysitting my best friend's daughter. She grabbed it and touched the blade with her index finger and sliced it. Later, when her mom picked her up, I told her what happened and showed her how she did it, and cut MY finger! She still laughs about it 18 years later.

LOL..I was teaching a quilting seminar..always have a little safety talk..as I was showing them the use of the guard.. on the rotary cutter..it went to fall off the table and I went to catch it and got cut..which was what I was getting ready to tell them..that was the #1 thing quilter's do..I proved my point..lol..felt stupid..so yes..we all have done it!!

Oh yeah!!! Almost cut the tip of my little finger off! stupid thing didn't know to stay out of the way and I was cutting "illegally"!

Yes, more than a few times. Hope it isn't to annyoying.

From someone who got a "paper cut" from scotch tape, I feel your pain. :oops:

Yes, my hand slipped and I cut my thumb to the bone...11 stitches and just barely missed the tendon. It taught me a sure lesson. Since then I only used the ergo rotary cutters that are automatically retractable.

Klutz glove or the fish filleting glove from the "boys' toy stores" are my thing since I cut my finger several months ago. I also never lay down my cutter without retracting the blade......ever.....and I sure don't leave the darned things lying around for anyone else to get hurt on either. It happens so quickly. As much as I like using a rotary cutter, I must admit, I never had this problem with scissors!

I cut the very tip off my pointer finger on my left hand. It seemed to take forever to heal. I nick myself every so often but watch where I put my hand when I cut.
