    Have you ever ejected yourself over the bars into a bush, thicket or rock garden? Have you ever put your hands out in a fall?

    Even tweaking your finger or dislocating it at the knuckle with a ring on with cause it to be cut or smashed to remove it. No thanks.
    And that's to say nothing of degloving.

    Now, to Mikeyb's point; wearing one all the time? Yah, that's dumb. For anything impact or athletic short of some sportsball, I'm in a silicon ring. All other times; the hard jewelry.

    I just take my ring off. It’s not like it’s The One Ring.
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    I'm too lazy. I keep the squishy ring on most of the time because I am skiing / mountain biking / whatever pretty much every day, even if only for an hour or two. The metal only comes out when I'm dressed up for some occasion.

    I've never worn one, wife doesn't care and I don't like jewelry so it worked out.

    What does your girlfriend think about that?
