Don't try this at home kids !

#1 Post by fatboy » Sun Jul 12, 2020 11:32 am

Recently a lorry driver returned to his depot, got out of the cab to open the gate,jumped back in and sensibly sanitized his hands with alcohol based sanitizer from a 1 litre bottle.
Then not so sensibly he lit a fag.......
Which ignited the alcohol on his hands which ignited the 1 litre bottle.
The explosion blew both driver and windscreen out of the cab, the windscreen blew 2 metres away.
Oops !
Ouch

Special mention in the 2020 Darwin Awards? Mind you, there's going to be a lot of competition! :smt119
Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others.
The same applies when you are stupid.

Wow! Talk about unintended consequences, switching one hazard for another!

I think the 2020 Darwin Awards would make interesting reading !
I get constant updates from Waste Industry Safety Health organisation, and yes, people do some dumb weird stuff
