I was probably in hospital having the cut above my eye stitched up.
I use to use a 19mm spanner/wrench one with an open jaw one end and a ring the other end.
I would undo the draw bar with the open end, and then with a graceful flick of the wrist, whilst allowing the spanner to pivot between a finger and thumb on the ring end hit the top of the draw bar
The one time the graceful flick was a bit hard and inaccurate and glanced off the top of the draw bar. 
It seemed at this moment I lost my presence of mind because I let go of the ring part. now at a loss of what action I should take, I either closed my eyes, or I forgot to duck, may have been both. With the precision of a laser guided missile it hit me above the right eye
