Lay a scraper plane on its side before loosening the retaining screw.

If you are holding it upright (or even angled) the blade will drop out and bite you.

Got a nice nick just above my ankle bone to remind me.

Tough lesson, I've always sat it on the bench so the bench catches it and nothing else. Stay safe.

Ouch. On the bright side your ankle saved your blade from a nasty chip or ding.

NEVER EVER try to catch an sharp tool when it's falling!! The floor will almost always catch it. You can grind and resharpen it quicker than your hand will heal!

Standing on a rubber stall mat prevented any damage to the iron.
At least I know it's sharp.
