Blood, sweat, and tears, now with extra blood

So I was moving some (large, heavy) shower doors, and one of them, sort of, well…

exploded.

Not sure what caused it. I was resting it on the ground (while holding it) when it happened. I must have tweaked it in just the wrong way.

But wow, when it went, it really went. Glass *everywhere*.

I was not wearing long pants. Or a long sleeve shirt. Or shoes. Or safety glasses. Or any sort of safety gear at all. It just didn’t occur to me that “massive piece of tempered glass shattering while being held” was a thing that might happen.

In retrospect, I got extremely lucky. Initially I thought I was completely unscathed, but then I started bleeding from a lot of little cuts. Had a few small cuts on my neck, found glass in my hair, but my eyes were fine. Needed bandages for a few cuts, but nothing requiring stitches or medical attention.

You know that trope of action-hero-dives-through-window-and-arises-unscathed? Gonna me a lot harder for me to maintain suspension of disbelief on that one these days.

You can bet that I’ll be a little more appropriately attired the next time I wrestle shower doors around.
