Be careful, we all take some risks but lets think of the consequences.
Dieing is only one outcome, there is worse.

Hi Rob,

Even though you're on the other side of the world and we've never met - I'm glad you've come out of it reasonably well.

Maybe the Firey chopped your +ve lead so you couldn't try and drive home..?

And Eric, Phil and Harry, Yep I hear ya. I had a 9 inch anglegrinder bounce off my jawbone 20 years ago and some people call me Magneto cos if it's metal and flying it usually gets me! (And cos I attract rusty metal ).
I stopped and reconsidered my situation with that grinder before I began, and it still got me. Improper use of tools is what it boiled down to. Also I can't believe how many people don't wear eye protection, or even dust masks - the latter even when wirebrushing or grinding.

Be Safe and Live Long (to enjoy this hobby. Or should that read 'to suffer' from it? Maybe - but not for the reasons we're discussing here.)

Regards

Alex
