Stuck in the neck! Those cut-off wheel disc's like to explode in your face. I had one blow up on me and stick me in the neck. It was just a cut, but if that would of hit me in the eye I’d been pissed!

Corneal Flash Burns Overview
Eyes, particularly the cornea (the clear window of tissue on the front of the eyeball), can be damaged easily by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from other sources of ultraviolet light, such as a welder's arc, a photographer's flood lamps, a sun lamp, or even a halogen desk lamp.
The cornea takes the brunt of the damage if proper eye protection is not worn, such as dark glasses or goggles while skiing in bright sun. A corneal flash burn (also called ultraviolet keratitis) can be considered to be a sunburn of the eye surface.
