I had a co driver when I first started driving cut his face open above his eye twirling it with his fingers. He wasn't close like people think. Just when it jammed it kind of jammed his whole body close to it and managed to cut him. Brought him to hospital to get stitches and decided I would never do that again lol.
I'm sure it's a very rare thing but I saw it happen to someone first hand so learned from his mistake lol.
Do you spin your landing gear handle?

I was dropping a trailer once, just spinning the handle with one finger and hit myself lol I had on a nice new pair of Oakley sunglasses. The handle hit the side of my glasses, didn't break them but scratched the crap out of them. Got a black eye and pretty sure broke my nose.

I been spinning them if they'll spin for 10 plus years, I've never hurt myself, if I did I don't remember it.
So only spin them if you're awesome, otherwise lean against the trailer with one hand and grab the handle with the other and make those giant slow cranks,Dumdriver, swervyjoe, Grubby and 1 other person Thank this. -

I was at a Pilot, the first stall was out of paper so I took the 2nd stall, a flip flop wearer went in the first stall, you could hear him frantically rolling the cardboard tubes, I thought he'd ask me for a square and I was thinking if I'd help him out.. I had squares to spare.
But he just got up and washed his hands and left.Grubby Thanks this. -
What makes you think he's lying? Many folks need two hands for tiny, delicate operations.

I spin it myself faster for me i had a trailer once you had to use two hands was hard to crank got rid of that trailer . Face should never be close enough , I'am 6'3 too it helps when your taller
