safety glasses??why??

We were doing some milling with a bad rotary table, and the endmill shattered.... Sending very hot pieces of Carbide into my glasses, arms, and chest. Come by 114's pit some regional and I'll show you the scars.

Had I not been wearing my glasses, I probably would've lost my eyesight.

(as a second note, NEVER use a rotary table unless you know it's in perfect condition... it was scary to have that endmill fly apart.)
