He then told me to go and use a compound miter saw, for which we only have a wood blade. I informed him of this and he still said I should use the miter saw. I went and tried. The plastic snapped and whizzed across the room, narrowly missing one of my teammates. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and we were all wearing goggles. Just goes to show you: sometimes, mentors don't always know best.
Exact thing happened to me on Friday night except it hit me in the stomach... No damage done besides a huge bruise and a bit of blood..
