When someone looks at the sun your iris constricts because of the bright light, and this helps protect your eye from damage.
During an eclipse the moon has blocked out most of the visible light (the spectrum we can see),
in effect your eye will not constrict and can be damaged by UV and other light we cannot see.
I would not recommend looking at the sun for long periods of time with out proper filters. I doubt looking at a solar eclipse for a few seconds with the bare eye will do any serious permanent damage. It is not unrealistic to think that some dipshit may stair at an eclipse for 30 min or so and blind themselves.
