10 years ago I was trying to compress one of those "trick" front drag springs with an internal spring compressor.

I was doing this on the tailgate of a pickup that was a few inches below waste level.

Well, the spring fingers let go and that compressed spring let go, missing my "man zone" by 2 inches....
