I'm glad this work out relatively well and only minor injuries occurred.
Thank you, OP for sharing, it's a great public service announcement.
This is why we often say it's not a matter of "IF" it's a matter of "WHEN" if people choose to roll the dice with improper equipment, adhesives, etc...etc...
Hopefully by sharing this a few people will see it and learn from others rather than learning the hard way themselves.
