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

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
