Yeah had that a few times too.... have actually knocked them out on occasion, I guess it's just luck.

Just remember to close your eyes on the way down......

My dad actually doesn't wear anything (he usually wears glasses)...his vision isn't too shabby, so he just takes his glasses off and enjoys the blurriness, haha.

Have fun!

I used to wear contacts but i got one stuck following a nasty faceplant and scratched my eye. I went to the doctors and got some really cool yellow cream for my eye. Since this incident i havent worn my glasses but my vision is a bit blurry but i get by and i am doing my instructors course next week. Just thought i would let you make an informed decision whether or not to wear your lenses. If you can see well enough without them i would recommend not wearing them so you dont do what i did. Or you could take a chance and potentially live with a week of pain and even worse vision.
