Years ago I was wire brushing off the last of some sealer and paint in a car body prior to washing down so I could weld the base plates in for a roll-cage wearing a leather apron too but a tiny bit of wire went through my overalls and jeans and into my leg just below my knee. Never felt a thing.Originally Posted by meyer77
Agree, one of the first warnings (among many ) is to never use wire! A piece of wire coming off of something spinning at 10,000 rpm + will bury into that bare leg real quick. I was using a knot wheel on an angle grinder and had on heavy denim jeans and a piece came off and hit me in the family jewel area
Next day about lunch time my leg started feeling stiff and sore. About 20:00 hrs that night I was in hospital. My leg just blew up. I had a bad case of sepsis and was flat out in a bed for three weeks. Major pus eruption when I finally got the useless doctors to lance the big boil that formed.
I suit up big time whenever I'm using an angle grinder. Seen and had the odd disk fracture as well. No joke.
