You have seen what led up to the accident so here is how it really happens. As I grabbed the garage door handle with my left hand I placed my right hand onto the garage door to assist the descent of the door. Notice how my thumb is beginning to enter into the gap between the garage door panels. Can you begin to feel the pain?!
So after seeing that fine photo of my abused thumb you are wondering how it happened. Let me show you a recreation of how it happened. What went on is that we had cleared out the garage as you can see in the latest photo. Trust me, the garage was completely filled and the only way to go into the garage was by walking along the rack/shelves on the right side.
Here is the first photo of my injured right thumb.
It all started with a request from my wife Cara to clear out our garage so she can park her Prius. Here is the ominous garage which shall now been known as the thumb killer.
