Ouch. I cringe when see a guy with a cut off wheel or a grinder and no full face shield. 15 mins before the end of my shift I was grinding a flange a piece of grinding debris hit my forehead. Then it bounced off lens on inside safety glasses into my eye. Had to pick up girl friend at JFK 90 miles away in 2 hours. 10 pm ER to take the grain out. We all probably have learn something the hard way.Did that Old Timer have both eyes that worked? If I was caught hitting the face of a hammer head (think harden) with another hammer's face (think harden), I was told I'd be fired. And yes I have one hammer with a chipped face. Some how just now with this subject, I remember striking the two faces together and a chunk of metal broke off the face and lodged in to the web between my thumb and index finger. These were good old hammers.
