*MUST READ*--Flex Fan Danger--Be very careful working on old cars

You could be killed instantly. Saturday I was fine tuning a car and when I reached up to snap the throttle a blade broke off from the fan and hit me about center on my right shoulder knocking me back. I put my hand up to put pressure in it as I noticed I was now leaking pretty good. My girl drove me to E.R. where they took me back quick for a 2 hour surgery. My right arm is now strapped to my stomach for the next 6 weeks while I sit in a chair. Doc says it cut the muscle in 1/2 and 5 tendons along with other damage in a 6 inch long by 1/ inch wide cut. Sorry I did not ask how deep it was. Trying to learn how to use the left hand now.
