  1. Helmets when riding bikes too. When I was ~13, my buddy came over and we decided to ride to the tennis court on our bike. I only had my helmet so I gave it to my buddy. I was going to go without then thought “eh ill look in side quickly”. My dads helmet was inside the door so I threw it on at the last second. Ball of tennis balls got jammed in my front spoke. Dont remember that day at all except the “eh might as well take a quick check” that tiny decision saved my life as I got a serious concussion and full face scrape even with that helmet.

  2. I often work in a scenery shop for theatre and am amazed how many people either don’t wear safety gear or go “in wearing normal prescription glasses so I’m safe” and it’s just astounding because it’s so dumb.

  3. I get your logic, but holding the balls from the top of the bag (think under my hand between it and the handle) and letting them swing freely beside the wheel, I doubt that cosmic difference would have helped. It was a BAD accident and I don’t know how I would be so stupid but I literally can’t remember how I would think that was safe due to the accident…

  4. I’d like to see a comparison between safety glasses and regular prescription glasses. As an every day spectacle wearer, I often wonder if they protect me enough in a lab setting.

  5. my coworkers are using nail guns all day without safety glasses. it makes me cringe. they said they close their eyes when they shoot and i said that it’s gonna go through your eyelid fam.

  6. And for those of you who wear regular glasses, consider bifocal safety glasses instead. Available tinted or clear and up to +2 diopters for just a couple of bucks more than regular safety glasses.
    I use them for all work I do with tools.

  7. If you need to actually show someone why they need to wear em. Show them a real human being getting fucked up. It’ll put it in reality. These tomatoes are wicked inaccurate. Maybe good enough for the layman. But most don’t enter situations you need em.

    Sounds gruesome sure but it’s really just the best way. This video showed me that it’s a 50/50 Chance they’ll help if I’m a dumbass. Cuz one didn’t even do anything.

  8. Fun fact: ~~Your average pair of~~ Some safety glasses are capable of stopping a .22 lr bullet fired out of a pistol. Even some cheap ones. I get some from work for free and even those will stop a .22.

    Fun fact 2: The pistol part of the original fun fact is important because the barrel length of a .22 lr rifle is long enough to accelerate the bullet to fast enough speeds that it can penetrate the safety glasses.

  9. This video loses almost all credibility for having the glass debris enter through the area where a nose would have been. I mean at least create a prosthetic nose from modeling clay or something to block the flying glass particles. You went through all this trouble yet leave a huge gap in your simulated, yet otherwise realistic scenario?

  10. I used to hate wearing these in school until my sophomore year. My automotive teacher almost lost his sight. He was wearing sunglasses and using a grinding wheel. Whatever he was grinding exploded and the metal shavings went underneath his not recommended glasses and cut deep maybe a quarter of an inch below his eye.

    He wore the recommended glasses from then on, but it was so scary. He used that story every year after, I wore them everytime I stepped foot in the shop.

  12. Sorry but isn’t this one of the the most pointless videos ever?

    Are there really that many people questioning the science or the logic behind protecting your eyes from shards of glass and sprays of hot water?

    Do we really need scientists and experiments and internet videos to convince people to protect their eyes from dangerous shit?

    At what point do we let all these people that are violently offended by the idea of protecting their eyes from danger just go blind so they can be happy?

  13. I was using a nail gun to put down some blocking and bracing on a flat bed a while ago and I took a nail to the face. I was a lucky one, the nail didn’t penetrate as the angle was way too shallow and it shot across the deck and thankfully the nail hit me broadside *just* below the eye, the very top of the bone, and got my nose as well. The bad thing it I still don’t wear eyepro I just move along…I also don’t stand directly across the deck as I hide behind the tire when the other person is nailing.

  14. Safety glasses are obviously mandatory when working in hazardous environments, but a tomato is a really bad substitute for an eyeball.

    Eye’s are actually a lot tougher than you’d think, definitely harder to pierce than a tomato skin, but the problem is that even very small cuts and punctures in the wrong place can have serious consequences.

    It’s extremely unlikely you’d split an eye right open like that.

  15. This reminds me of the time I built a fire using a 12-pack beer cardboard box as kindling but somehow failed to see there was still a beer hiding in a corner slot. One of the shards ended up embedded in my girlfriend’s eyelid. I still cringe about that.
