A good friend of mine was involved in a serious accident on the set of "The Unit" yesterday. The scene involved broken candy glass and the firing of blanks from hand guns. During one of the takes, when the gun was fired the blank exploded and he got shot in the hand.
He said that he felt a sharp pain in his hand, which was fortunately covering his head, and when he brought his hand down to look at it, it was gushing blood in 3 places. He called for the set medic who helped slow the bleeding and advised him to get his hand x-ray ed to make sure there was not a piece of the shattered brass casing inside.
Sure enough, the x-ray showed that he had a C-shaped object embedded in his hand. He got a shot and has to have surgery tomorrow or Friday to have it removed!
The moral of the story is that just because someone tells you something is safe, still take precautions to protect yourself.

I see two morals: glamour changes its spelling when it becomes glamorous, and somebody on that set should get fired.
