I am working on a K-5 and learned a lot on this site.
Saw this thread over there and thought I would share.
Note to self, don't haul an acetylene bottle in an enclosed vehicle.

Wow is right!

Martha Focker! So lucky.....

[SparkyRnD]

unbelievable, to say the least

:jawdrop:

Damn.........that dude is lucky.

Holy crap, he came out of it much better than I would have imagined. I'm guessing he didn't have a cylinder valve guard on it like he was supposed to if it got "bumped" on ...

[67 ls1 vert]

Thats shocking! Good thing he made it out ok. Hope he gets his hearing back. I had something blow next to me and I have really bad ringing in my ears now from it.

There are example pictures at the local welding supply shop like this. Some are unbelievable.

[analyte]

Extremely scary!!!

[DirtShark]

That is just unreal...how do you walk away from that?

[SparkyRnD]

I wonder if that was Emeril Lagasse's FJ.

[BayouSS]

That guy was very very lucky.

[BulldawgMusclecars]

Thanks for posting this, Bill. I think I'll print it out and take it to my local welding supplier to post.

Hmmm, lesson learned!

[Jim Nilsen]

It had to be one of those Binford tanks designed to accelerate the speed of the power windows to open. Hey watch this: I can open my window faster than anyone !!!

He is very lucky it didn't blow the second he opened the door and the dome lights came on, all good connections there. But those power window switches spark everytime they make a connection.

This is why I don't have a power trunk lock on my car. With my tank in the trunk area I have the potential for fumes to build up in that area by a fitting or line failure and just a loose fill cap when closed and make it so the trunk release could trigger an explosion. Not likely but it could. So make sure your remote trunk release mechanisms can't spark or get fumes inside of them to trigger an explosion. I know I am not the only one around here with a fuel cell in the trunk.

i don't think the transporting was the issue here. Few mistakes, allegedly not having a boobie cap, not checking the valve, no safety plug, leaving the cylinder in the car for a long period of time and operating anything while knowing that the Green Dragon was occupying the interior of your car.
Proof that the Gene pool has no life guards but apparently a few floating lucky noodles.

[claytonisbob]

...and boom goes the dynamite.

[zbugger]

And that's why I have to drive with the window open. Not the same, but similar principle...

[protouring70]

Just wow!

[absintheisfun]

Holly hell that guy is super lucky. I don't understand why he thought it was a good idea to store an explosive gas in your sealed up vehice OVERNIGHT????

[anthonys 69]

that guy needs to buy a lotto ticket

[DustinS]

That's my cousin! Lucky is an understatement, he just had a baby about a month ago.....Looking at the pictures again, we're lucky not to be down a family member! Easy MrQuick I'm swimming in that pool!

How is his hearing? I am amazed that was his only complaint injury wise.

[DustinS]

I haven't talked to him since it happened (earlier this week) but my understanding was he had a scrape on his head and blew out one of his ear drums, other then that just thankful to be alive!

no worries Daryl, he should be thankful he can enjoy his family. No running now....

[jpdeuce]

It's pretty obvious to everyone but remember, if you ever smell anything flammable never do anything to create a spark. Not only did this guy use his electric windows but HE STARTED THE ENGINE! Almost got himself killed!

[Slick68]

Wow just doesn't say enough. I don't beleive there are words to describe that.

His Tonka Toy wasn't quite Tonka Tuff enough to handle an explosion like that.
