In my younger days, I had a quick EH Holden 179 which hopped over the 1/4 in 14 secs. One day, I was tuning the triple SU's whilst standing in the front of the car with my guts hanging over the radiator. Suddenly, one of the four fan blades decided to let go when I was revving it to about 6 grand. The broken off blade just missed my left ear and went straight through the metal skin of the bonnet above me, flew another 20 feet in the air and then impaled itself into the lawn next to the car. The body wasn't injured, but my undies sure were. You will always see me over the side guards now.
