It seems as though excess leverage is the common theme throughout these little anecdotes.

I have an almost moment;

Back in the day, I didn't realize that a spring compressor was necessary to take apart a mcpherson strut. Spring went about 20 feet in the air, landed on the roof, I caught it in my hands as it rolled off.

The "what might have been" still gives me the willies.
