Party with extingusiher

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

During a party in Budapest, Hungary, on the 26th, November, 2006, a 26 years old man put the hose of a fire extinguisher into his mouth, and fired the device. While he did this presumably for fun, the outcome proved to be fatal, as he was instatly killed from injuries caused by the pressure, which is upto 14 times of the normal atmospheric pressure.

I don't recall anyone removing themselves from the gene pool with a fire extinguisher. How ironic. Just when you thought you'd seen it all, here we go again. Personally, I think this sap deserves a Darwin Award as he certainly took stupidity to a whole new level by extinguishing himself. He did this "for fun"? I need to get out more...

I am sitting here dumbfounded. Having gone through US Navy Firefighting training several times, I am fully aware of the sheer power of CO2 extinguishers! This mook did it for fun. It must have been enormously fun for whoever else was present when his head exploded! I'll keep this one for sure, sparse though it may be!
