fyi
some of the new rings are very hard. Hospitals have a hard time cutting them off if need be..... 
Better to take it off prior to risky behavior.

I can totally see that with a Titanium wedding band. For future, I will not be kiting with my ring on.

CAUTION: Urban myth being perpetuated. My jewler told me they would have to cut my finger off to get a titanium ring off. fact is, not true. If a tool can cut through stainless steel, it can cut through your titanium ring.
Don't be like this german guy though...

That's probably true, but a gold ring is probably much softer than Titanium or even Silver or Platinum.

nah, platinum is just as soft or softer than gold. Most industrial applications for Pt metal they have to add Iridium to in order to increase its hardness
I must have a fat finger or someting cause my ring never slips off! |

Don't be too risky.. wear a condom.
Speaking of risky behaviour - I stopped wearing a ring when it caught on the latch of a door frame while I was walking into my office - yanking me off my feet by my ring finger - hurt like hell but nothing broke and the finger stayed attached.
