Been there and done that.
It was my younger days thought i was tough. Tried to push in a double pole breaker and got the two bus bars shorted to the back of the panel. Then BAM.
All i could see was red for about 3-4 minutes. Then went to the hospital got my eyes washed out and closed one eye for one day. My face,fingers, eye brows, eye lashes were all burnet. Because of that i am wearing prescription glasses. Thank God did not get any molten metal in my eyes or anywhere on me.

Be careful of that silent beast.


Thanks
Edward
