Suffering a serious workplace injury once is bad enough.

But Dane Keane has had the misfortune of losing a finger on the job — twice.

The 52-year-old Washington rodeo coordinator was helping to secure a bull in a chute when his finger got caught between a rope and a metal fence pole. He had to have his left index finger amputated at the second joint.

In 2000, Keane lost the end of his right ring finger to a bull.

Keane is also a county commissioner. He says he loves the rodeo, but it’s “a little bit on the bad luck side” for him.
