Chuck was lucky indeed. A less lucky chap is a local radio host by the name of Danny Kramer. He is partially blind in one eye because of a situation similar to Chucks. Unfortunately he did not get his eye out of the way quick enough. Patrick Chuck Hards wrote:

I had one crack on me as a youth, and could have suffered serious permanent eye damage. Luckily, I heard stress fractures "pop" just before the filter failed completely, and got my eye away before my retina was severly burned. As it was, there was minor damage that I still can detect decades later. And that was with only 3 inches of aperture.
