At our lab we've been working with some 3 inch x 1/4 inch ring magnets. I went to pick one up from a group that were carefully laid out separated from each other. It decided it liked its neighbor more than me, the neighbor jumped up about 6 inches, and the two clamped themselves onto my ring finger. Reflex response took over and I pulled the finger out, but it looked like I had smashed my finger with a hammer. Three days later the lovely purple hue is starting to subside.
This all happened WAY faster than I could have reacted to.
Kids, be careful out there!
