Thats actually pretty serious mate. If that happens it can contamenate your eye and from there enter your blood stream. If it happens again, grab a clean screw driver and remove your eye. It could save your life.

[Pillar]

ouch, i have done that many times

[Lee]

You think you're fine, but during the night your eye is going to dissolve :)

[Emmy]

:eek: That's some picture NOVABIKECARBED lol.
Yeah health & safety first at all times you dont want any long term damage.

[brainsnova]

[kelbelle]

That picture! Only saw the top half at first, was like JESUS Flucking Christ! Thn scrolled down and realised who it was lol

[dj_wudgey]

yea dont it before its fooking horrible!!

[Andy]

Ive done that,as well as nitro mors,petrol and brake cleaner are bad.

[Spudly]

Hmmm, ive just come back from a first aid course and for chemical entry to the eyes you need to irrigate with sterile solution for at least twenty minutes lol


Failing that dods advice will be spot on:thumb:

i tried to remove my leg with a 9" grinder lol

[brainsnova]

a circular saw bounced of a knot in the wood and stole a bit of my shoe :D

[mowgli]

i tried to remove my leg with a 9" grinder lol

that doesn't count.... you use the grinder for pretty much everything.... for your own safety, wee whilst sitting on the loo in the future

[Ash]

phah, wait till you drink some petrol/dot4/nitro fuel - then your a man, me son lol

My last set of glasses got splattered with nitromorse and melted the lens. opps, another £120 down the drain

[gunny]

phah, wait till you drink some petrol/dot4/nitro fuel - then your a man, me son lol

saturday nights lol

[General Baxter]

i got some petrol in my eye, now that will reduce any one to tears lol

[Ash]

^ Agreed

[Rich]

Once at work unclipped a fuel filter which launched a jet of petrol in my eyes, after about 10 minute of trying to wash my eyes out, could just about see. Went to carry on, as i looked up at the fuel filter (before touching it) a random jet happened again and refilled my eyes with petrol lol

Doesnt hurt as bad the second time. Used to get nitromorse on me all the time, never really bothered me lol

[brainsnova]

i like when a bit nitromorse splashes your arm and you dont relise untill it burns.

[Benn]

Ah i learnt this the hard way too. When stripping my enginebay got a tiny flick in my eye, left my eye sore and swollen for about two days.

Allways allways wear googles or something, even when under a car.
