I had a Golf where the timing marks are under a plastic flip cap over the flywheel. After work at dusk I wanted to stealthily check the timing under a dark carport. No auto repair was allowed in the condominium complex and there was security walking around. With the engine running I leaned over and put my hand down for balance. The cap was off and I managed to stick a finger through the access port. Ping! Lost a fingernail from that goober but it could have been worse.
