Fatboy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Gents, This is a topic that has been discussed on here a number of times and some have had first hand experience of getting debris in the eyes (Tony C had a post on it a while ago). This photo is currently doing the rounds at work and I thought it may be worth posting to give a bit of visual impact rather than replying on just words....

LandyManLuke Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 erm.....phhhhffffttttttt. That very nearly didn't stop either. lucky guy, bet he was glad he was wearing it. makes you think especially as i usually just wear saftey specs, that would have made a mess of a cheek etc. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I've recently taken to wearing a fill face shield after a similar, but less penetrating incident with goggles. It would have been fairly messy if it had hit anywhere other than the goggle lens. The poster in the background is ironic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway_Star Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Same here Don, after a lump of plop came right through my goggles and I spent 3 hours in A&E for my trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hell, that was far too close good to know there was no injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Erm Yeah I think I need to go shopping and not do the 50/50 safety googles routes (50% with goggles - and erm honestly owning up, 50% 'Squint n grind' / cut) Thanks. That is one hell of a wake up call Noge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 If it provides a nudge to get the right kit, I'm glad. I can't find goggles that stay clear after a couple of wipes so hopefully the visor will do a better job or at least provide a better tolerance for seeing...
