I'll tell you what, I WILL be getting a good face shield tomorrow. I am a big believer in protecting ourselves while working and this was a brain fart on my part.
Yeah, I was drilling out a 1/4" pop rivet holding the bumper bracket to the rear of the this Fiat 500e. The rivet is vertical. I was on my knees pushing up on this rivet with the drill real hard because the rivet was spinning. I did the job with the rivet head cutting off and when that happened my force brought it right back into my face.
