i once popped the rad cap off my car and there was enough pressure that the cap FLEW up, hit the hood, and flew just past my face.

one word: FLEXFAN!
you only lean on the fan shroud once! i shredded 3 fingernails and diced a few knuckles. somehow, all the fingernails grew back without any trauma marks at all, i do have a few scars from it tho.
another time i got a strange chemical burn when i stuck my finger in a blocked coolant passage to clear it out after removing a friends intake manifold. never heard of anything like it before or since then, but as soon as i hit it with some gojo, it stopped burning. it was pretty weird.

I had been working on the carb of my 84 and was leaning over the fan shroud when I told my bro to start the car. The fan hit my fingers and wiped all of that black grime stuff right off and left them clean LOL.
Once in my auto class some guys were jacking up a 1999 dodge caravan but didn't have the supports in the right spots. As they were lowering the van, it started to tilt so they quickly dropped it from 6 feet off the ground and it ended up on two wheels leaning into the lift.

you'd think I would have learned a lesson by now: I can't remember all the times I was on my back working under my car and had grease or sand or some type of oil drip fall into my eyes . . .
. . . yet I never wear any eye protection
However, just yesterday I was using the weed-whacker near the curb and a tiny chunk of concrete hit me square in the eye. It actually tore my contact lense in my eye. My vision was blurry for the whole day. I may start to consider wearing at least sunglasses.

i know exactly what your saying, got my share of rust, dirt, oil in my eye from working underneath a car.. i never wear safety glasses.. one day i was grinding something on an old lawn tractor and a sliver of metal got in my eye, it was blurry for a couple days it stung, hurt to open and close it, wend to the eye doctor to get it scrapped out, scared my eyeball.. you would think i would learn by now to maybe wear eye protection but i still don't lol
About six months ago i was taking the shift linkage nut on my transmission and the wrench slipped and the top of my index finger was sliced by the transmission pan. i super glued the gash and for 3 months i was stuck in a 90 degree bend now six months later it sits at a 70 degree bend.
i think my most idiot moment becides buying my car for 2g's was dropping my new rear end on my face. *ow*
