Likewise, no way it'll come off. It has become quite flattened by hauling on ropes. I just try to be careful.

If you want to see what happens when a ring gets caught click on the link below.
WARNING.. This is a graphic image.
Do not click on the link if you are squeamish.
It may change your mind about wearing a ring or letting your loved one wear one.

I never wear rings, watches or chains while sailing or working with machinery or electricity. It was drummed into me at an early age as an engineering apprentice. Likewise SWMBO who also has an 'engineering' style job doesn't wear jewelery while sailing or at work.
My father nearly lost a finger while wearing a ring at work, he was lucky it just severed the tendons!
Bodies of friends families and loved ones are too precious to risk a serious accident.

Have never worn a wedding ring, I started my work life in farming and met several people who were missing their ring finger after getting their ring caught in mechanical equipment usual the PTO on a tractor. Plenty of opportunities for the same sort of thing to happen while sailing and I bet it would really sting
