ouch!
i have been shocked, burned, smashed, pinched, poked, and filleted at one time or another by all the equipment i work on.
i had a grinder incident, with a 7" HD angle grinder-
i was grinding a bit above knee level on a steel firebox for an industrial tar kettle.
i was replacing a 12" diameter x 10' heater tube and had to grind out the old welds after cutting with the Oxy/acetylene rig.
all was good until i got too far into the bore of the firebox and the grinder kicked back, hitting me on the inside of my thigh, mid thigh.
it cleared a 3"x 1/2" wide channel immediately in my leg , luckily it was mostly superficial, it went down about 1/4".
the funniest thing is that it didn't bleed much, the wound was basically cauterized by the grinding wheel.
the doctor picked carborundum out of the wound for 45 minutes before sewing me back up with 2 layers of stitches .
Good Times!
i'm glad that you didn't get it worse. take it easy!
chicks love scars
