Well then, I've lived! A lot! But....there is a proper method to pack a bearing full of grease, and slapping it around on its end like that isn't the way.

You should hold the bearing on its side with one hand and scrape the grease off of your other hand into the bearing until it comes out of the top.
To be fair to Alex - I think he had just finished. My bearings were always FULL of fresh grease.
