Lesson 1: Take your finger off the trigger of a pneumatic squeezer while adjusting the ram depth.
Lesson 2: If your going to accidentally squeeze your fingertip, try to have flat dies installed rather than dimple dies. Had this been dimple dies I likely would have lost the fingertip.
This is what a flat die squeeze looks like on the middle meaty part of the fingertip. Luckily it was set for AN426AD4-5 rivets and the dies had about 3mm space between them when fully pressed.
Hopefully nobody needs to repeat my error to learn this lesson.
