20 years ago I was welding some angle iron on a plastic milk crate in the yard.
I was sitting another crate
when the rod would stick, a quick jerk would free it.
One time it didn't, so I jerked the rod harder.
Next thing, I was getting the sh** shocked out of me!
When I got up off the ground, I had a feeling all my teeth were going to fall out!
I had a burn on my right shirt sleeve, and a burn 1.5" above my right eye!
Aparently, on the 2nd jerk to unstick rod, the rod came off at the last moment and momentem, made me fall back off the crate, and my mask came off, as the rod came back and made contact with my face. 1.5" FROM MY EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True story. I was very, very lucky.
