Jim Cox is the master cave-gater in NM; he's worked on a number of
cave gates in Fort Stanton Cave.
I wonder what sort of eye protection (if any) he was wearing.

Hi all,
Some of you have heard, but perhaps many have not. Jim Cox, long
time New Mexico caver from Albuquerque, was injured on Saturday,
when a rock chip struck his eye. It was thrown back when he was
using a rotary hammer drill to break up some rocks on his property.
Unfortunately, doctors were not able to save his eye and had to
remove it.
According to his wife, Anne, Jim is recovering at home and is very
tired and sore right now. His recovery time should be 4-6 weeks.
He is not up to visitors right now. Perhaps in a few weeks.
