l have a scar above my left eyebrow from doing this, l was wearing safety glasses and the piece of steel hit me just above the lenses and stuck into my skin, not just like a sliver or something it was in there good! lt was a very small piece(about the size of a sesame seed) but l am sure if it had hit me in the eye l would have done some damage without question. the face of the chipped hammer hardly had a mark in it and if the piece had not hit me in the face l probably would not have noticed, just a mark on the side. the odds of getting a hammer to ''explode'' is probably very very small, but just a glancing blow can easily knock off a very small piece at almost the same speed as a bullet.
