How in the hell... a turbo at idle can do that? Even high idle I still can't envision that happening, unless your boosting and you stick a finger in there, I can see that, but wow...
Finger VS turbo! WARNING: NWS & GORE

My brother-in-law's Eclipse turbo's BOV will go off even with the slightest tap of the gas, it's insane. Guess those things build boost at very low rpms
My turbo and car is far from stock. Holset HX40

I'm betting you won't play around near the turbo anymore until the car is turned off ><
Ouch. At least you only put the tip in! Funny thing is over the years I've seen a good bit of threads with turbo's eating fingers.

You can add me to that list. I'm guilty of playing around the turbo with the car on. Never thought twice about the consequences. Till now.
What a coinsidence. Tuesday, at work, one of my mechanics stuck a finger in a truck turbo. The result was pretty much the same. Just a different finger.

Yes this is pretty frequent. I don't understand why people try to pet the turbo while it's angry... Makes no sense
Next time you guys are hanging out, instead of saying " give me a five" it will be "give me a 4 3/4s" LOL.
Good thing it was a Talon. If it was a Supra, he'd lost it up to his wrist! 
Kidding aside, OUCH!!!
