Re: Near-death experiences or injuries during build season?

No Near Death experiences but lots of experiences of pain, bleeps and bruises.

Personal Favorite was the 2003 Stack Attack. That humongous stack fell over on me. Bruises lasted a while and I admit I think I saw the Road-Runner running by. Second would have to be a Head meeting Tetra in 2006 when the robot back into a stack I was leaning on.

Odds are you hang around a team long enough, your clock gets checked a few times no matter how safe you are. I think you'd have to wear an EOD suit, the MJOLNIR Halo style, to be 100% safe. Just keep your wits about you at all times.
