I thought we already had a thread for xmoding related injuries but I'll be ****ed if I can find it! So I will share my story in here instead!
Earlier today I was happily sitting here soldering away trying to clean up a really bad and rushed wiring job where three wires where connected together with 1 big glob of solder (I was being really lazy yesterday) when one of the wires flicks up and launches boiling hot solder all over me......
It ended up landing on my lip, just below my right eye (in the sensitive skin area but at least it didn't go in), across my forearms, in my beard and all down my t-shirt....
Needless to say it hurt quite a lot and I think this is a great example of why safety gear should be worn.
Good news is it takes away from the pain of the dislocated knuckles injury suffered yesterday!
