Actually, the post above wasn't my first bad experience with a wedding ring and basketball. The first summer that I got married, I would often play basketball on an outdoor court with metal chain nets. Once, while going up for a rebound, I was fouled, lost my balance, and got my ring "stuck" in the chain net for a few milliseconds. The ring acted as a knife blade and cut me almost down to the bone, which required several stitches to close.
