    Quoted from o-din:

    Working on cars most of my life I've had more gashes and stitches than I can count.
    Nothing like the time I was around six or seven and decided to climb a rope in the garage, and the block and tackle bent the nail it was hanging from . That heavy hook went right into my forehead on the way down. Blood everywhere.

    I was installing a power steering gearbox on my '67 Impala. Had to get underneath the car to insert the long bolts thru it & into the frame, turned to find the ratchet, and when I turned back it was falling straight at my head, which was resting on the cement floor. Caught between hammer & anvil. How that heavy s.o.b. didn't crack my skull wide open or put an eye out with the various metal parts sticking out of it, I have no idea.

    Having a propped-up playfield come down on my head is as close as I've come pinball-wise. Damn those pop bumper coil brackets are sharp.
