Michael, stuff like this happens to everyone who works on cars - I think someone already mentioned this, but it bears repeating:

Stuff like this happens to everyone who works on cars.

The important thing is that you weren’t seriously hurt beyond your pinched fingers and pride.  I’ve known mechanics who have been messed up in all sorts of ways over the years by things falling on them or flipping around at them or things breaking off and launching at them in a fit of pure spite.  One guy escaped totally unharmed, but the car he was working on fell off the single-post lift it was on, landing on it’s side in the space between garage bays (on the opposite side of the lift from where he was).  Thank God, they made single post lifts illegal around here (I probably would have tried to buy one if they hadn’t ).

Some day, years from now, you’ll look back on this and realize that you made it to that ripe old age in spite of what happened along the way.  I may start a whole ‘nuther thread on just that!
