Marty,
Similar story. Guy I was working with decided to weld on a grain truck bed (with it up in the air while standing on the frame rails) while charging the batteries. Spark blew 2 of them up and acid came under the mask into his eyes. Most pain I have EVER seen someone in. I drug him across the shop and ran the garden hose in his face for what seemed liked 10 minutes. He made it through with no loss of vision but I assure you all. This is something that you never want to witness or be a part of. I will NEVER forget those screams. Kevin
