Flares fair
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
A male in Brisbane Australia, found a safety flare and not wanting it to be dangerous, he decided to make it safe.
His idea of making it safe was to make a hole in the flare and let the water seep into it, unfortunately the method of making the hole was not the greatest idea.
Using a cordless drill he decided to make a hole in the flare, unfortunately the heat of the drill caused the flare to capture and burn fiercely.
The resting damage was unfortunately or fortunately not fatal, however he did lose most of the muscle mass off three fingers and some serious burns to his hand.
So one would think that this came from some unexperienced youngster, or someone slightly inebriated, nope just a mid-60 year old in his retirement making the world a safer place. Submitted on 09/29/2002
