Ouch
But maybe if it hadn't hit you, you wouldn't have noticed it came off until you went to clean the wheel.
Hope it didn't get damaged.
Glad you're OK.

I had one fly off too. I heard a metal hitting metal sound and then saw a chrome flash out of the corner of my eye. Luckily it was next to a farm field that was freshly plowed. It was glistening in the dirt when I went to look for it!
