I know someone who was watching a worker chisel out a stuck bolt on a car and a little chunk of it flew up and hit him in the face right next to the eye. It traveled through the orbital space between the eye and the skull and ended up lodging there. The doctor wanted to do surgery to remove it but mulled it over and said there was a chance that could go wrong and he would be blind in the eye if it did. Safety googles would have prevented it. I watched him get a C-T scan and the technician was whooping with surprise at how that metal made the curve and lodged behind the eye.
