The first was not removing the air from a die grinder with a cutoff wheel after I was done with it while lying under my race car. I rolled over on top of it and set it off. Luckily it was a cold night and I had about six sweatshirts on.
The second was while changing the brake pads on the 944. I put the car on jack stands (like a good technician) and proceeded to remove the wheels. I had my head inside the left front wheel well when the car apparently decided to drop off a single bolt that was holding the car up on the jack stand. I promptly brought my head back (read scared $hitless), hit the back of my head on the inside of the fender. As we know every action has a reaction. My reaction was to slam my forehead into the backing plate on the brakes. :o I was well rewarded for my efforts with a gash in my forehead and a knot on the back of my head. Oh yea, I also found out I’m pretty quick when I need to be.
Happy Holidays, Rich
