Yes, Wayne, he lost the finger. He was fairly heavy, and, once he
jumped there was nothing except the finger restraining him, and it
couldn't bear the load.

Ken,
Rings can be a hazard in some circumstances. A boy a few years older than
me, who was loading something on his father's stake-bed truck, jumped off
the truck and his ring caught on the top of the bed.
Needless to say, he lost a finger.
I am familiar with the rule about no rings when working with rotating
machine tools.
When I had open heart surgery, one of the nurses told my wife to stick
around for a moment and she would give her my ring, because the hands often
swell following surgery. Knowing I had difficulty removing it, Donna asked
her how they would get it off. She smiled and said, "We have our ways". In
a couple of minutes, she handed Donna the ring.

That's perfectly OK. Nothing wrong with it. Besides, it shows the
lasses that you aren't some creep living in his mom's basement.
I wore mine for about the first year, but developed a severe skin
sensitivity to it. That and getting myself royally zapped! I've tried
wearing it through the years but it's a no-go. My dad didn't wear his
because as a precision tool maker, it was a work hazard. So I just
fell in with his example.
