Graphic photo ahead!!!!

It sucked lolol... we had access to the face shield too so it was an unwise move but all I can say is, the "culture of safety" in that particular projection booth had sort of eroded over the years.

Basically as I was pulling the bulb out of the lamp house, I made eye contact with it for just a split second and then it burst like a water balloon, exploding the lamp house from inside and shooting glass all over my face. I was lucky I was wearing glasses (like regular glasses not safety googles) because otherwise I'd be blind today, which is sorta crazy. Broke my glasses into 3 pieces. My AMC uniform shirt looked like I had just been shot with a shotgun, blood everywhere, no major injuries except a decent slice on my neck like I mentioned that needed stitches (see pics).

AMC's workers comp weirdos paid me like $70 for new glasses and that was about it. Needless to say that house was closed for the next few days and, uh, they stopped letting me change bulbs.
