Today, on my google homepage, I saw "Some people with titanium wedding bands have had to amputate their ring finger when their finger had broken and doctors were unable to cut through the metal to remove the ring."
This is not a fact,and is a urban legend. I understand that not everything is a "fact", but this is akin to people saying that KFC chicken isn't chicken. Titanium rings can be cut off just like any other ring. Please do not continue fueling the incorrect notion. I know I sound like a crank,but I have had people tell me this "fact", and almost all ti ring website have apage dedicated to fighting this rumor.Thank you

You don't sound like a crank -- you ARE a crank.
We know that pretty much every well-equipped emergency room in the US and Western Europe have the equipment to cut through a ti ring but there are ERs that cannot cut through the metal. This is especially true in parts of South America where titanium wedding rings are considered to be lucky and therefore a higher percentage of people wear them than is the case elsewhere.
In addition, your simile regarding KFC is specious and erroneous.
It's funny that you mention industry related sites for titanium wedding rings... because it's those hucksters that got us into this mess in the first place. FT pointed out, correctly, that many larger emergency rooms have the equipment, still to this day, roughly 1 in 3 doesn't. Those odds aren't worth it, folks. Don't go titanium for your wedding ring!

Well duh. They won't make much money if their rings have a hint of amputation about them.
Why would you purchase a titanium wedding ring anyway? Do you really want so much to un-impress your spouse?
Mine are silver - and I would've preferred stainless steel.
why's that?
same color, more durable!
I'd be okay with one of those cheap 25 cent rings from the vending machines. I don't like rings, and I'd lose 'em. Also, if you're getting married, then prolly you have expenses like a house or kids or future kids and the wedding and the honeymoon and blahblahblah. A bunch of money for a little piece of metal doesn't seem like it would be immediatly necessary to me.
Wow, that was probably one of the most unorganized things i've ever typed.
I think the 'stainless' could be symbolic.
aww, how sweet.
No amount of titanium wedding rings can ever be half as bad as the havoc wreaked by the 3 months in 1964 when a Cunningham IL jeweler successfully marketed a small number of sodium wedding rings, before a law banning them could be drafted and passed.
Ah yes, nothing like the look on your spouse's face right before his or her hand gets blown off.
