I always take it off for training. Despite being titanium, it gets scratched on the bars. On any pulling exercise it digs painfully into my finger.
Like Dave1958, I'd also heard about people losing fingers from rings. Once from my grandad about an army colleague jumped out the back of a truck and caught his ring, lost his finger, and another one about Castleford Tigers (Rugby League team) coach Terry Matterson jumping over a fence to fetch a ball during a training session, catching his ring on the fence and leaving his finger behind. Not that either circumstance is likely to happen in the gym, but still off putting.Training journal and diary: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=155348593

We had a guy ion the job working the tag line( rope attached to the iron) on a beam going up. The tag line got mashed his glove under his ring. When the crane started to fly the piece up, well his hand went along with it for a while...then it was just his glove with half his finger still inside it.

1. Look up "degloved finger" on an image search.
2. Consider that getting your ring hooked up on a dropped deadlift bar with 400+lb on it is more than sufficient to lead to that outcome.
3. Put ring in pocket when training...☻/

Been married 14 years. I take mine off.
I know of an Army colonel who was doing pull ups, his ring got caught in the pull up bar. When he let go after doing the last set, his ring finger ripped out.. The doctors were able to reattach the finger, and they had to use leeches (as in the blood sucking tropical bastards) to expedite the healing process.This above all..
