[color=66ff00]Yeah, I'd like to hear of anyone who hasn't been burned whilst soldering, cut whilst woodworking etc. etc.

It was just bad luck and is generally a good thing as it's all a learning experience. It's not like he was doing anything blatently dangerous like trying to dismantle a handgrenade with a chainsaw or swinging off high tension wires.

I'd seriously go see a doctor dude. And next time, wear safety goggles when you're testing any new weapon :p

that's probly a good idea, but it wouldn't have helped me here, as you can see in the picture, it hit well above were safety goggles would have covered.

Still, you should've worn at least goggles, preferably a full face mask...a full face mask might've deflected it from the side.

Nice job scanning your head :D

Yeah, see a doctor. I jumped (read: fell) 10 feet once, and thought i hit my foot hard on the ground, proceeded to walk around school for the rest of the day, and found out that weekend that i broke my foot.

Yea, but that's an 8 foot drop and shock (which you didn't even notice) this, um - you had something about 3 inches into your skull.

I totally agree with your opinion on medical care bob but, the only thing that concerns me is where it hit you is a bad place and might not hurt to at least go to the local public health center and get it looked at.

and since we're telling stories of getting hurt and not going to the doc I was burnt all over my stomach and some on my hands, although they didn't get any worse than second degree, by a kerosene can blowing in my hand and I didn't go to the doctor.  Neosporin on my side and I didn't do a thing to my hands but going to sleep the night I did it was a real challenge.

In his skin. Above the bone. In an area where there's about no flesh or anything. Stop being overdramatic :p

Nah, seriously, Bob, have you written down your will? Coz I think you're a goner :doubt:

That's fvcking awesome, Bob - that made me laugh out loud! Great job scanning your face as well! :lol:

And I wouldn't be too worried about the wound now - any infection would likely have shown up by now. If your head swells up and goes green then see a doctor, otherwise just leave it. :nod:
