A teenage boy has revealed how he danced for half an hour at a London rave after tearing his little finger offer - because the bass was 'hard'.
In an almost unbelievable tale, the party-loving teenager has revealed how the accident happened at a recent illegal rave in Croydon, after alerting the world to his accident with a photo he posted on Instagram (see above) with the comment: "Rave f*cked me up #rumnbass want my finger back...#sh*t #happens"
Now, the boy, known only as 'Josh' has told Vice how he came to lose his finger - and what happened when in the 30 minutes after the incident.
"Well, at about 1AM we were up in the house room, but I don’t really like house so I was waiting for the drum 'n' bass to kick in. As soon as I heard it, me and my mate went down there. Five minutes in, the fire alarm starting going off and everyone was like, "Rip it off! Rip it off!" So I thought I’d give it a go. I was completely sober at the time. I jumped up, grabbed it and my little finger got caught in the case because it was all broken, and as I came to rip it back down, my little finger got ripped off completely."
"I looked at my hand and my little finger was gone – the bone was sticking out. It’s the weirdest feeling; one second you’re fine and your little finger is there, and the next second it’s gone. It shoves reality up your backside. I was in so much pain and shock that the first thing that hit my head was the beat and the bass. The bass was hard, so I just ripped off my top, wrapped it around my finger and tied it up as tight as I could and skanked it out for half an hour. My mentality was, 'I’ve only been here for an hour, I’ve paid £10 for this night, I’ve lost my little finger – am I seriously going to go? Nah, I’m going to skank until I can’t skank any more.'
"After that, my mate dragged me down to the paramedics."
He then added that his main reason for sticking around at the rave, despite having severed part of his body, was the prospect of 'fit girls'. We doubt very much that he pulled any of them.
"Well, what can you do? There are fit girls around you, the bass is hard, the music is popping. I didn’t want to be the sore thumb sticking out – or the sore pinky – so I was like, "F*ck it, let's skank on and enjoy it."
