Immersion blender accident: Woman gets finger stuck in blender trying to make falafel - TomoNews

SOMEWHERE, EARTH — An X-ray image showing the hand of a woman who got her finger sliced before getting stuck in an immersion blender was posted to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a website where doctors can share medical images. A nurse who uploaded the image said an unidentified 34-year-old woman was in the process of making falafel when a chickpea got stuck in one of the blades. The woman then attempted to dislodge the chickpea. The only problem is the woman didn’t turn the blender off, so once the chickpea was out, the blades started spinning. Her finger then got stuck after the blade became embedded in her flesh. Luckily for the woman, the only injury she received was a torn nail.
