I was working next to another guy (back in the NAVY) when he lost his finger because of his wedding ring. So, for me, it depends what I'm working with whether I wear mine or not. Back when I pulled flats, I did not wear one. Now, pulling reefers, I generally don't do things that might cost me my finger, so I'm fine wearing one.
Before I started driving, when I worked with electricity, that little gold band is one of the very best conductors there is. Ring touching ground, and the finger touches a live circuit, and you can lose your finger just that quick. I would not wear mine at all, back then.
