I didn't. Took a good hit in the left eye two weeks ago. It's coming back but will be awhile. Lets just say I was real lucky and the doctors were real good. I'm through with bungee cords, using rope now.
Sorry about your bad fortune, RustedBird and thanks for the tip you passed on. It seems like there is something out there waiting for us every day to say "Gotcha!"
