Mary, who works for the Oklahoma Highway Department, was in a state truck when a passing tractor-trailer's mirror hit the one on her truck. Shattered glass burst into the cab of the state truck. But Mary was wearing safety glasses. While she was cut on the face and neck, Mary's glasses stayed in place. Her doctors said that her eyes were well protected and that she could have lost her eyesight if not wearing the safety glasses (from H.L. Bouton Company, www.hlbouton.com.)
