Mods please feel free to move this to safety whenever yawl see fit but I feel it would get read here the most at first.....
Okay two Fridays ago I was lighting a brush pile on fire with diesel. Well like most folks I've done this 1000 times and 999 times I can't get it to even light but 1 time is all i I need to get rushed to the ICU. All we can come up with is it blew up due to a perfect storm of things going wrong but it was lit with 100% diesel and 100% like I've done in the past. The moral of the story is never get complacent with anything!
If you wanna feel the most painful feeling man kind can have burn yourself! I have 2 degree burns from my elbow to my finger tips and 2 degree from my chin to my ear all on my right side. Basically sweat made the fumes stick to my skin and when I lit the fire I caught myself on fire.When I got to the hospital the doctor was going to life flight me out to Kansas City burn ward. Luckily the fire only burned the inside of my nose and not my respiratory system. My eyes were saved due to the fact I was waring sun glasses. The good Lord was watching out for me that is a fact! So let the moral of my story be 1 be careful with diesel! And never get complacent weather it be driving, pouring plastic or what ever. Life and limbs are precious and a fine line separates us from being able to talk about it or no being so lucky.
No word on when I can use the ole hand again but I hope I can do something within a week or two
This was taken with in 30 minutes of it happening the face and rest of the hand look like that about 4 hours after
