Sorry to hear Bill and Dean's stories. OUCH.
It is so important for begining DIY'ers to realize that you can easily get badly hurt when weilding heavy metal tools with lots of force. My college friend got trapped under his car doing an oil change. He hasn't worked on a car since, he could have died. His Ph.D. training didn't help him realize that you can't wrench hard on a drain plug when you have to car on a tire jack! We all know this, right?
My story:
College budget, rotten muffler on subaru wagon, winter in Syracuse, NY. Got under there, properly supported the vehicle, working two sockets against each other getting rusty bolts to shear off. Socket slipped and I bashed myself in the head above my left eye - really hard. Lucky that I didn't pop my eyeball. Didn't knock me out, but blood came right out and down my face. Went inside, made a girl cry, went to the hospital and they glued my skin together. Went home and changed the muffler, had no choice. I can remember straining on those bolts after coming back from the hospital hoping that the glue would hold. I work very carefully now.
BE SAFE
