So hes swappin the spring out and were all just hangin out and all of a sudden u hear a loud BANG! and i look over and hes covering his head and laying on the floor and theres a spring sticking halfway through the passanger side fender! now granted the fender was alrady a lil damaged it was still crazy...
He wasnt hurt thank god but still to this day i dunno how that happened but i could have been alot worse...people who werent there dont believe me but i assure u it happened... i know cuz i remember dropping my beer  |
It does happen. If you do the spring force calculations you know how much force gets stored in them, and it can be enough to kill you or disfigure you if you aren't careful.
