Jesse James Cuts Off His Pinky, Jokes on the Accident

Notorious bike builder Jesse James of West Coast Choppers fame had an accident while working in his workshop. As his glove got caught in one of the machines, the tip of his right pinky was severed and fell on the floor.

While many other persons would probably faint in such a predicament, Jesse kept calm and called 911, and then started to search for the missing piece of his finger, to put it on ice and have the doctors reattach it.

And since Jesse James would stop be Jesse James without some tough humor, he seized the occasion by quickly taking some photos of his mangled finger and upload then on Instagram. According to sources, he also refused to take morphine to ease the pain and joked with the doctors, asking whether they could attach the fingerprint upside down, just for fun.

The tip of Jesse's finger could not be reattached, so the doctors took a skin graft from the finger and sewed it back on for a cleaner look of the cut, after recovery. Even though a piece of finger short now, we know Jesse's bikes will be just as cool as before.
