Well I experienced another epic fail today. I just finished working on my 2000 Ford Expy and was cleaning up my tools. I reached over and grabbed the air hose about 2 feet back from where it plugs into the compressor. I used the other hand to pull back the release. The air hose connector shot out of the compressor, swung around the perfect radius I had created and smacked me right above my right eye. I now have a grape sized knot above my right eyebrow.
Safety glasses saved my bacon. I even have a pressure regulator that I could have turned down before disconnecting. Never saw it coming. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb…
