    Actually carbide rings are a little safer than gold ones. Carbide will just shatter if it's deformed in any way so crushing no longer presents a hazard. However, pitting either material against flesh for cutting, dislocating or degloving a finger, both carbide and gold are about equal. It's like arguing if a metal butter knife or a plastic butter knife cut warm butter better; the butter doesn't stand a chance either way.
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Having cut myself with both kinds of butter knife , Your right , it doesn't make any difference they both cut. BTW, my ring was sterling silver,
    seems to bend/crush quite easily.Wife told me it happened cause I was flirt with the old women,and with her German temper I've decided to
    agree with her and stop flirting,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yeah right,

    Oh, I know my finger is screwed either way. I meant having to cut that bugger off vs gold to save a finger as in Lost Mason's case.
