I got y'all beat.  I am rather cautious usually about these things, as I
don't need to look for trouble, it usually finds me.

I had a spring let loose on me last week.  The cheap garage door jambed and
out of frustration I unjammed it, as the mount for the spring loaded lift
mechanism let loose violently, slicing me straight up the middle of the
forhead.  I did not relize the extent of injury, until I found the real
deep slice was on top of my head.

If I had been 1/2" closer, coulda put an eye out or gone stright through my
forhead.  I was fortunate to need only some stiches, and real luck I don't
look like Frankenstien now.

Interestingly I had just pulled the entire 5ktq  engine single handedly
with it with hardly a knuckle scrape.   Oh, I guess I'll give my wife some
credit for cranking on the engine lift** while wearing her office suit -
glad she didn't get any grease on her outfit, or the garage door injury
would have been trivial in comparison.

Can't be to careful!
