I get the distinction between a conscious decision, like getting a swastika tattoo, vs something that was not intentional. She said she lost the finger while making a shelf during home renovations. I'm guessing cutting wood. I very much doubt she intentionally cut her finger off, but odds are that it was a preventable mistake.
Sharing these mistakes with others does make you vulnerable. That said, it also can serve as a teaching opportunity. Sadly, tons of wood workers from the 40s-70s were missing the tip of a finger or two. Whenever someone talks about something like a table saw in a woodworking forum these days they'll nearly always receive advice regarding safety.
