very true... though I think it would have to go through the tool rest to hit me that low, loose things from the lathe, like footballs, can take some pretty weird bounces..
Maybe it's just my instinctive reaction.. to protect my face/head..
What happens when a wood cyclinder comes loose from lathe?

I asked this question a month ago or so and opinions varied from..... It should never happen- to the tool rest will save you- to wear a complete face mask- to hide under the bed.... I decided to wear a full rubber dust mask and safety glasses.... and keep checking the lock handles.
