I've had three bowl chunks and one spindle hit me square in the face.
On all four occasions I was wearing my face shield. Three of the
times the shield was actually down.

Now I ALWAYS wear a face shield....down.

Just curious as what to expect if a 2" square x 24" piece of stock should
come loose from lathe at 2000 rpm....... Would it just fall to the
workbench..... Go flying across the room..... or lodge into my head? I
would imagine that when you turn bowls things can kind of explode all over
the place but not sure about a thinner piece when doing spindle work.
