Wow -- and I thought I was the only one! LOL!
I've had my share of glass pops adhering themselves to my epidermis, clothing, etc. I watched as a hot glass pop bounced right off the center of my safety glasses (scared the crap out of me for EVER not wearing them!).
The most unique was WAY back in the beginning when I had my kiln set up and had the torch going. I learned the hard way when I was putting a bead into the kiln and leaned down to the right to see inside the bead door, and leaned the top of my head right into the still burning torch. Honestly, I don't think I have ever moved that fast before. Smell of burnt hair and only a slight 2nd degree burn was the result, as well as learning to always lean LEFT when I need to look into the kiln to put in a bead!
It's part and parcel of working with Hot Glass -- it's
HOT! and sometimes burns happen!
