A runaway cork from a bottle of champagne can cause severe damage in the your eyes. Say - and warn - American eye doctors.
Non skilled hands and warm bottles cause the trouble. The latter is a well known problem, the same may go for the skillness of hands. Do cool your bottle properly - in the fridge the evening before or at least in the early morning - and when opening twist the bottle, not the cork, carefully and without shaking. Last, be careful not to point at anyone, when you open. This ought to get you through the opening safely.
Now, I have never heard of anyone, who got their eyes damaged by a cork from champagne. Maybe the phenomenon is more regular when paired with American sparkling wines, that still call themselves champagne. A very long fight between producers from Champagne and collegues from the US.
More advice from the American eye doctors here. You could choose play it safe and just use the sabre. But, then again, I guess that just opens for new trouble, doesn't it?
