Once our primary mentor was using a belt sander to deburr a decently sized aluminum bracket. It got loose and flew >10 feet and missed his son's head by inches. If I remember correctly, the only reason it didn't hit him is because he had just bent down to look at something in/on the robot.

I'm sure it hurts, as the sound was quite audible, but wow was that a hilarious day.

Sounds like he spilled something (probably hot) on it or otherwise damaged it. I would look into touchscreen screen protectors. either that or something has come loose internally.

How fast was that going at the time? I can imagine it made quite a noise when it crashed.
