Default Nasty S2k Injury

Not only did the S try to bite my leg off (the door closed as I was getting in), this also happened...

Glorious Tonneau weather on Saturday evening . Got the tonneau out of the boot, as I was unfolding the "wings", I forgot about the elastic bits. PING! right in the eye!! Felt like I'd had my eyeball slapped! fortunately didn't breach any kind of skin layers, just a large blood burst on the left-side white of my left eye. No pain after a couple of minutes, so just put on my Oakley's and cruised up the A1 to Stamford

Since then, it's just spread out a bit, now look like I've been soaking in a pee-loaded swimming pool for three days (bloodshot).

(I'll try to get a photo on at the weekend, for real "UGH!" value, when I can upload from my phone).

Oh, and then Mrs. U caught her funny bone on the transmission tunnel.

Anyone else been in similar dangerous (non-driving) S2k incidents?!

And I thought the only risk of injury was the back end letting lose! Good excuse to wear the shades though!
