Damn!!! That's enough to scare the heck out of anybody!!! That thing could have dug itself right into you as it flew off  :o

It's a good warning to take a look at the damage it did to the router and to itself.  :dizzy:  :dizzy:

The fur covered cab is great by the way.... Love It!!

Maybe there's a bigger lesson to be learned here... never send a laminate trimmer to do a router's job.

I did the same, pulling out a spinning router while cutting a t-molding groove. Luckely I could proceed with the same bit and router.
You can't be carefull enough with these kind of equipment.

That's one of those common mistakes that you just don't realize how BIG a mistake it can become, or even realize it's a mistake at all.  I can bet that alot of people pull the router out of a slot cut before it stops spinning their first or second time using it, if they aren't too familiar with woodworking.

I know I did it.  Nothing happened though fortunately, but I sure realized then what COULD happen and never did it again.

To be honest I consider myself lucky not to have been hurt using my router. I'm so glad I'm done with that part of building :)
