Lol...that's why I never bought a fibreglass handled ax...I'm pretty good with aim, but there will always be that one slip and then...ouch.

I try to split most of my wood when it is really cold out, like -20C or so, and the wood is totally frozen. You literally just drop the ax and the wood splits instantly.

But hey, it's one of the great man jobs, Howie...relish it.
