A cautionary tale

[vacca rabite]

There I was, minding my own business...

So, I am using a plasma cutter to remove unwanted metal. I stop cutting, but I still feel significant warmth on my legs. I look down, and realize that I am on fire. Not smoldering, I have an 8 inch fire line licking up my jeans.



In short, I was not paying attention to where my sparks from the cutter were going. I ended up being okay, but it could have been really bad really quickly.

No beer was involved in my immolation.

Stay safe out there guys.

Glad your ok, but it really isn't a crisis unless your Jeep or your house is on fire

Skin grows back. Ask me how I know.

when i was welding, at least once every couple of days i would catch something on fire. having your sleeve catch on fire when it is supposed to be fire retardant is always fun.

That looks like a new method for Al to make his picture taking shorts!!

Glad you are ok...probably jumped the heart into high speed there for a bit, eh?

Hey now, I've only set myself on fire like that a couple times. It's like like it's a true distinct pattern or anything.
