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.
That's actually pretty scary.
