So, you are talking about the broken florescent light, the cuts from the broken glass, and the bruise from where the bowl pieces hit the hand?

Couldn't find the picture.

P1060747.jpg I'm talking about finishing the polishing on a small piece at very high speed, then putting this big piece of red cedar on without the chuck screw and forgetting to turn the speed down, and turning the lathe on and watching it spin off almost 2 foot in the air. Luckily it went away from me, missing the flouro by about 1 foot! It did do a perfect dive though, I do have to say.
