Who is at high risk of a ring avulsion injury?

The people that are higher risk for ring avulsion injuries, as you might expect, are the people that work with fast-moving parts and machinery. People at industrial, manufacturing-type jobs that have high powered, high-speed moving parts that a ring could get caught on. Anybody that is working at a height on a ladder or a roof that could potentially fall and get their ring caught on something is potentially at risk for a ring avulsion injury, but the highest risks are those that work with machines.
