"He blowed up real good"

[WVvan]

Nothing to do with vans but I saw this on a welding board I frequent:

i had an acetylene bottle in my truck, the valve was bumped so slightly and over night the truck filled with the gas. i noticed the smell, and opened the doors to air out the truck. i drove the truck out of the garage to get some more air movement. i went to roll the pass side window down and as soon as i touched the power windows. BAM. with me in the truck. i lost all hearing out of my right ear and got a scratch on the back of my head. all things considering, im alive.

"...i drove the truck out of the garage..."

WTF was he thinking? A truck filled with flammable gas and he starts it up?

There is a reason why you should never move a gas bottle without the safety cap in place. Now if only I could remember what that reason is.

The only reason he didn't die is that he didn't say 'watch this.'
