Back in the seventies I built custom vans. I also had hair below my shoulders. While drilling pilot holes for paneling, my hair fell into the drill. The drill wound up the hair and smacked me in the head real hard, almost knocked me out. Raised a real nasty lump and I had to cut the drill loose from my head with a knife. One well learned lesson.
