The 'reflex action' is the problem! I hate to even admit it, but if it makes you feel any better jmoore.....

I did the same thing with a small soldering iron recently when I stepped on the cord and pulled it out of my right hand when I was carefully trying to solder a teeny wire onto a circuit board.
(Left thumb and index finger asked me to make a note to myself to let it hit the carpet next time!)
