Worst burn I ever got from a soldering iron was when
somebody tripped
over the mains lead. The iron was dragged through my hand and I was left
gripping the metal shaft. OUCH!.
I have also had a fair # of burns in similiar manners but the one thing I
would suggest for children is to wear glasses. When I was 9 or10 I was
desoldering something when some solder splattered into the tissue in the
corner of my eye. 1/4 inch over and it could have been serious. I almost
always now make sure I am wearing glasses.

My parents made sure of that... myopia runs in my family. 'Course, everyone
I know except my dad and brother gets those lame, wimpy plastic lenses...
me? tone-gray (changes with sunlight) *safety glass* lenses w/ coated
stainless steel frames.
The only friends I have who don't think I'm weird for my spectacle choice
are the ones who've asked me: "aren't you going to wear safety glasses
before you...???" ;-)
Very handy.
See ya (pun intended),
