Default Rotory Tool Accident

I was happily cutting my plastic upper diff case in half with the hand held rotary tool on max speed when out of the blue, the bulk head gets stuck to the rotating thing and I start vibrating so fast that everything became blurry and I couldn't think properly. All i could think of that the diff case is going to hit me somehow. I couldn't move my fingers fast because of the vibrations reduced my co ordination. I saw the familiar looking yellow blur which was the speed control (not that i knew of it during being vibrated) and i turned it. Speed reduced to half and I gained half my co ordination back so I slowly turned off the switch. I was shivering after that for like 5 minutes. That was the scariest 20 seconds of my life, it felt like being half paralysed moving at the speed of sound. My hands are still abit numb 10 minutes from the accident. Remember to be careful of your tools.
