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

In 2006 we were testing different angles for our shooter. the wheels were pretty much direct drive from a big cim, and the 6 x 8 plate above it was zip tied to a shaft so we could easily try different angles. on one attempt the plate contacted the wheels, sending it straight up right past my head. I don't think anyone even knew what had happened until it hit the 30 foot ceiling and was on it's way down.
