Girl’s hand severed by jump rope
Keep your arms, legs, and jump ropes inside the vehicle at all times.
A 6-year-old girl is recovering after surgeons reattached her left hand, severed when it was caught in a loop of jump rope that had snagged on the axle of her mother’s car.
Erica Rix underwent 10 hours of surgery after the accident in early September and spent nine days in intensive care before returning home.
Erica was playing with a jump rope in the back seat of her mother’s car and let one end of the rope out the window to flutter in the wind.
“I wanted to see it go up and down because I thought I was going to fly,” she said Tuesday on NBC’s “Today.”
