As i'm driving to work I see a blind man almost every day walking to work i assume. My dad told me his story. One day he put a new grinding stone on his bench grinder and didn't check the stone speed rating. The last thing he saw was his finger flipping the switch on the grinder. The stone exploded and he lost both eyes. 33 years young.
So now you're thinking yeah ok be careful. The very next day my dad put a new wire wheel on his bench grinder and he had the same experience. He hadn't check the speed rate and it to exploded. Fortunately he had his safety glasses on, was not injured and able to clean up his own mess.
Don't confuse accidents with carelessness.
Be Safe. Be Smart.
