EE was spot welding and a spark came off the lead tip & went into his eye. EE wasn't planning to weld yet and turned around & accidently bumped the trigger as it came in contact with metal object causing a spark to hit his eye & bounce out. His eye was burnt as the hot spark came in contact. He was wearing glasses & had his hood on, but it was up at the time.
