I has laser eye surgery several years ago and after the surgery it was always hard to remember to put safety glasses on..until I had a car battery blow its caps off in my face. I was working on my truck and had left the hood up for awhile so there shouldn't have been any hydrogen gas around, the operative word was shouldn't!
Anyway, I'm prying off the caps to check the electrolyte and "POW" off comes the cap and it flew over my shoulder. My face was peppered with grit and right away my face started burning, except for where my safety glasses were. A quick splash with the garden hose and I was back good as new. If it hadn't been for my safety glasses I would have landed up in the ER. :thumbsup:
