The angry grinder
Well I had my first incident with the angry grinder. I was cutting some 3mm sheet with a cutoff wheel on the grinder and the sparks from the metal set
my coveralls on fire, burned a nice hole in the coveralls and a small hole in the jeans I was wearing under the coveralls.
I smell smoke, OH I am on fire, slapped it with my welding gloves and it went out, no injuries.
One other thing, back in the good books with the better half, found my wedding ring I lost in the snow last winder. Good and Bad day.

i had a simlilar thing last night,
I was cutting up a tubular frame with my plasma cutter. Started at where a cross section joined an upright, cut clean as anything straight through.
All of a sudden my right leg was getting very vot, looked down and there was a hole in the crossbar that i was cutting into right next to my leg. So
the sparks were going in at one end, travelling down and firing out of this hole on to my leg HA!
Didnt quite set on fire but it went quite black

Mine a couple of weeks back. Took about 2 weeks to grow skin over the white bit in the middle, now it's just really itchy.

similar to MK9Rs i also went at my finger, it was my left index, had a big groove out of the top of my nail and into my finger, now a year on just
have a scar where it led on to my finger. Took a fair while for the groove to grow out ouf the nail though
