The one that really scares me is the press we use to remove pins. 100 tons on a threaded rod not pretty when a rod breaks. It shoots across the shop and makes lots of noise.

i don't have much of a "shop" but i wouls have to say its the grinder when i put a cut off wheel on it. one time the wheel broke and when the flat side hit the metal it threw the grinder out of my hand and it started bouncing on the ground right by my head (i was laying down under my truck) and i couldn't turn it off lol because it was moving too fast for me to grab it, but i did anyways when it got closer to my head lol. thats really the only time i have ever came close to getting hurt working on cars though..
