Narrative

While cleaning the tip of the burner barrel pipe & the front of the kiln & firing hood with a 15' long stainless steel air pipe with a 45 bend in the end of it. also a T handle set up upon turning on the valve the air pressure casqued the pipe to suddenly twist in a counter clock rotation and I was hit in the jaw. The blow broke some teeth loose and sheared them off at gum line.
