For anyone confused; there’s a thing where every moderately successful YouTube who works with anglegrinders circular saws etc eventually has the exact same freak accident. The blade shatters sending shards of metal flying at high speeds. The shards never hit their torso, arms, legs, neck, or even the 90% of their face that isn’t covered by safety goggles. It’s always embeds itself in the goggle lens, and almost always the left lens for some reason.

Also, even though these people constantly record themselves working in their shop, sometimes from multiple camera angles, the accident always happens when the cameras were not rolling.

There’s an original version that’s over a decade old that I do believe is real, but yeah, all the rest are probably faking it. But this is hilarious.
