Please Head My Warning And Read This, As I Damn Near Just Lost My Eye!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear safety glasses when changing out your headlight! I was just changing out my headlight and ring about an hour ago. I removed the headlight from the bike and brought inside to work on it at the kitchen table. Upon trying to remove the very first W clip, or as I will forever now refer to as FU clips, it snapped out of place like a rocket and hit me directly in my left eye. My eye immediately saw a bright flash and then completely blacked out for almost 30 seconds, and then started fading into a black spot towards the middle of my vision. The black spot is starting to go away but is still slightly present, but my vision is still blurry out of my left eye and quite irritated and painful. There is a noticeable spot just below my cornea where the clip hit me. I hope I didn't cause any permanent damage and I sincerely hope this doesn't ever happen to anyone else.
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN WORKING ON ANYTHING POSSIBLY HAZARDOUS!!!!!
