Re: Near-death experiences or injuries during build season?
There was one time during build on a rainy day when I slipped on a diamond plate panel while running between the machine shop and the classroom the team works in. Fortunately I didn't really get hurt despite landing hard on my back.
Unfortunately, the teacher-mentor of our team suffered a similar fate some time after that, and he wasn't as lucky. Can't remember exactly what the injury was, but it was foot/ankle related. Certainly made us realize how important he was to the team.
After that incident, the school added some sort of coating to the panel that made it less slippery.
