I got within a hair. Stupid, stupid, stupid. In a nutshell: I was working with a backhoe that was older than I was, early 60's model and a hydraulic line developed a very small puncture, enough that I could see the line start to sweat. Instead of backing off I got closer to see if the drop I saw on the line was really oil or maybe water. Fortunately before I could reach for it but after I got way too close the line exploded. Blinded me for about 15 minutes completely, the oil got infused into the fabric of my sweater so deep that even 12 years later (yes, I hate throwing stuff away) you can still clearly see where it hit. And that was just a hydraulic line bursting, we're not into accidents with buckets and blades territory.
A Reddit thread this week said if you put your finger over a leak in an oil line the pressure will drive it through your skin and they basically have to do surgery to scrape the pockets away from your bones.
