	UV from the primary gap can do evil things to

	the eyes, just as welding flash does to welders
	eyes.


	Also, they typically provide some level of physical

	protection against flying debris if something
	goes worng.

	(hint: even minimal safety glasses will stop a
	0.22 short bullet.  They are good at what they do.)

	Also, as noted, consider hearing protection,
	appropriate to size of coil.
