Several years ago I had the misfortune of loosing my left eye due to a centrifical clutch departing its housing... Had my face in the wrong place at the wrong time, glasses would not have been much help as these were rather large chunks of hot metal moving at high speed... That clutch was on me like white on rice, it hit me so fast that I didnt realize what had happened until I bent over to pick my hat up off the ground and felt what was left of my eye slide down my face...
Spent weeks @ Tulane with them installing implants and gluing my head back together... During my stay, I met several other guys and gals that had serious eye injuries or had completely lost an eye like I had...
The common thread between all those people I met (except for one trucker that had a strap take his eye out) was that their accidents were all caused by WEEDEATERS !!!
Be safe out there guys !!!
