So this last weekend I picked up my second piece of shrapnel off of a swivel in the last five months. Both metal shavings, both lodged in my cornea, both removed bye evil men with tiny icepicks and miniscule dremel tools. Both coincided with new swivels being placed on my board as well.
I just wore through the carabiner on my old plastic ballhook, so I threw a new one up since I have a bunch laying around. First hitting session.....blamo. Metal object in one of my eyes.
I tend to spend a lot of time under the board, as most of us do. So I am assuming this will be a life long issue, and that I need to protect myself, especially my sight.
Thoughts? Right now I'm just using some safety glasses that I have around for grinding and whatnot in my garage. I don't know that I've seen anyone else wearing protection, aside from Skunk chilling in his sunglasses at night.....
