A really good point. A few years ago, I was helping a friend install a shower in a warehouse unit.

I was kneeling on the floorboards and described a reference point from underneath where he should drill through (with a 600W drill)

Seconds later, the drill bit popped through the boards, 5mm from my thigh. It would have been carnage.
