I just had both of my garage doors replaced - one of the installers was telling me how his uncle, who has done installs all his life, just about ripped his thumb off when he took his eye off of one of those tension springs for a second and it slipped while he was pre-loading it. Not something to mess with.

I've always heard warnings about the side springs, especially if they snap while the door is down and stretching them. Mostly about damage to the car parked under them, though.
Hahahahaha yep my brother gave me that name as a teenager and still sticks even into my 40’s since I’m 6’4 240

But yea springs are scary as fuk, I’ve seen plenty of guys at my old mechanic shop get hurt with flying springs when they drop control arms.
