I was very nearly shot by a customer at the gun shop I used to work at. Had one close call with a 12 gauge (which was beyondscary... had to take the rest of the day off to get the color back in my face after that one)and 2 other close calls with bows.

The one bow instance that comes to mind is when I was helping a fellow make his peep rotate squarely to his eye. I think I put a half twist in the string or something like that and handed him his bow back. I turned around to look for the blue Tru-Fire No Release (which is just a hook that simulates a release... for safety sake). This guy refused to draw his bow without an arrow on it... which is fine... but you have to take necessesary precautions. As I turned with that release in my hand.... whoooshhh.. right past my left arm and into the press went a Beman ICS Camo Hunter with a field point aboard... apparently some people get to eager and can't wait for the No Release. I have had a few customers flat refuse to use it... which doesn't sit very well with me.

Other than that.... I was assembling a Muzzy a few years ago and my finger slipped.... Goat Tuff saves the day again.
