Klonked by a klamp

One of my more "bone-headed" endeavors...:doh:

Last Friday I was lifting a workpiece from the bench when struck on the head by a falling pipe clamp. Didn't even see it come loose. Seems the piece caught the lower end of the wall-mounted clamp and lifted it right off the wall hanger.

Really hurt and opened my scalp, but LOML said it didn't require stitches.

But I'm very fortunate it was the pipe body that struck me, and not the clamp. I'd be a mess if one of those edges had done the business.

And today, it's just sore to the touch. Needless to say, the clamp storage rack got a modification over the weekend and I moved the bench away from the wall for further work.
 
you do need to watch those klunks to the noggen a friend of mine hit temple area with the corner of a shelf when he had bent over and came up to see what made a noise, it hurt like the dickens and then he went in with a head ache it ended up causing him to loos part of his vision.. probably a fluke but we dont grow new eyes so be careful of the klunking...
