    A fella from here in N.I just lost his eye in a freak style accident on Friday. Gary White, a talented Mechanic and rally car driver, was taking a clip off a turbo. it slipped and went straight through his eye! Lost the eye obviously! This guy is in his 40's with countless years of experience. It can happen to anyone ........

    I got a burnt face when I was. 18 when my fiesta radiator cap blew off when the car overheated in traffic, the cap turned out to be the wrong one and I can tell you it's bloody painful. I had a blister the lenght of my arm. When they change the dressing the gauze had fused with the new skin. On a plus side, the left hand side of my face lOoks a couple of years younger. :

    I fail to see how you can find that even remotely funny in all fairness, one of my tutors at college showed us pictures of a lad who had taken a cap off whilst it was red-hot, he didnt realise the engine had just been turned off and thought it was cold, he was wearing gloves so didnt feel the heat, till it blasted out and burnt his arm, his neck and face, really wasnt pretty and the lad was scarred for life!

    I think what is being made fun of is the lack of common sense not the actual accident itself. I for one, will openly admit I chuckled a little bit when I read about him not waiting for the water to cool down. Maybe he will learn a lesson to have patience and if unsure ask someone. A harsh lesson maybe, but a lesson nonetheless. It is a shame some people should have to suffer at their own hands because of their male pride/impatience/trying to look clever.

    The human race is doomed through stupidity.

    OK the accident is not funny, but the fact he was stupid enough to go straight to the car and try do it IS the funny part, and to be fair if you don't have the brains to see whats going to happen then you shouldn't be trying to fix your own car, no sympathy here I'm afraid.
