Ouch! Hope the finger heals up OK. I stuck my right ring finger into a drive chain a bunch of years ago, lost about 1/4 inch of the tip, but still have fingernail. There's another post, I can't remember what the subject of it is, about a gentleman who had his entire engine/firewall come off the plane. He tried hard not to catch it but didn't entirely succede. Maybee someone can help with the title of the post???
