Hello John,
My Pipe-Major had a similar type of accident many years ago, during our
annual "Territorial Army" summer camp. He was climbing out of the turret of
an armoured vehical, and had his hand on the rim when suddenly someone
(accidently? - Not everybody likes hearing the bagpipes!) kicked the heavy
lid shut. He didn't play his highland pipes for the remainder of the camp!
He did - however - eventually get back to playing the pipes, when his broken
fingers healed.
So, there's light at the end of the tunnel! We humans always heal up again.
