Caught myself in a 120 once checking a mink set. Not sure how I did it, but somehow the trap went off and took care of my thumb. The worst part was pulling my thumb out of the trap with a good yank. Spent the rest of the day checking my line with a very swollen, sore thumb. I think you only have to be snapped once to bring your trap awareness to a new level.
Ross Hinter (if you post here Ross I'd love to hear the story in your words) caught both wrists in a 330, breaking one of them. He was in the middle of nowhere and with both wrists in the 330, had to try and drive out. If I remember correctly, I think he told me he had to stop a few times because he was worried he was going to pass out while driving. Might not have the story correct, but I think I'm close. Others here would have heard the story as well and can maybe add to it if Ross isn't on AO.
