10. Paulo Diogo
The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon recently spoke about an accident he had, in which his wedding ring became caught on a piece of furniture and almost tore his finger off. Almost. Swiss soccer player Paulo Diogo wasn’t so lucky. While celebrating an assist during a December 2004 match, Diogo briefly scaled a metal fence, but when he jumped down, his ring became stuck and pulled half of his finger clear off. Doctors were unfortunately unable to reattach the severed portion.
Adding insult to injury, referee Florian Etter penalized Diogo with a yellow card for excessive time-wasting while match stewards were searching the field for his missing digit.
