I am going to stop trolling and here seemed a good place to start.

I have had several minor burns, touched the torch head when it was still hot, shocky glass, one time I knew glass had flown around but could not find any that might do damage, I smelled something so I kept looking, still no luck so I went back to torching. When I finished up, turned everything off and went upstairs, went into the restroom to take my hairband off and found where that glass had gone, a big bunch of hair fell on the floor! ( now I anneal all my shocky rods, just throw a bunch in the bottom of my kiln when I start working) Since then I have also put that metal mesh Chinese handcuff like stuff on the hoses near my torch (I don't know what it is called) if you watch the video a Corning w/Kristina Logan, I think you can see it if you keep an eye on the torch close ups. I think that stuff is a wonderful safety addition.

I have burned myself worse on curling irons and glue guns
