Unfortunately, Mr. Genius IQ (I promise it WASN'T me!!) pushed the press down a little too hard and instead of just puncturing the nail, the drill bit got a bite of his finger and pulled his finger up and in an instant he had a 1/8" drill bit ALL THE WAY through his finger and his finger was at the top of the bit with the drill still rotating.

Yes, we laughed. Howled, actually.
Such an injury is considered to be an open fracture and is treated as such. big time infection opportunity.
