One time I was watching someone using a cheapie one-- the kind with no collar around the pin. He was gunning away, holding onto it to keep it from flying off (and becoming the aforementioned high-speed projectile). Suddenly the pin came out. Well, about half-way out. That pin spun around with the socket, sliced a big chunk of meat right out of the palm of his hand, which flew out and hit the floor.

Ugh! I bought the good Snap-On ones with a big fat collar around them.
