While most people think they have bad days when they miss a train or don’t get the promotion they hoped for, it does get worse. This is a lesson one man in Washington state learned the very, very hard way.

He was fishing in a river when his boat hit a downed tree. His fingers got caught and the boat started to sink. In a brazen move to stay alive, the fisherman cut off the tips of two of his fingers with a pocket knife to avoid death.

Then help arrived a few minutes later.
