JustGav Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well, just had an eventful trip to an A&E tonight, was busy welding when a bit of slag dropped out and ignited what we assume was a gas pocket from the patio heater which hadn't been turned off properly.... Needless to say one gas flash flame later and I was somewhat burnt.. burnt hair on face, much shorter beard and even less hair on my face. The flame ball went up into the welding helmet. Luckily my face only got slightly burnt, my hand however now has 2nd degree burns to roughly 60% of my hand it is now covered in bandagaes and Jelonex pads... Next time, note to self, make sure the area is ventilated and gas free ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, I once burnt my hair off after messing on with a lighted jet hairspray bottle (long story) which ignited a fine layer of dust all over the plasterboard ceiling. I heard a kind of "wumpff" noise, and it was at least 30mins later when I touched my hair and it was all hard and brittle and just crumbled off the top of me. I put 2 and 2 together and realised what that noise was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 And now the News, Stable door gets fitted with new locks following horse bolting incident. Very very true, wouldn't have helped much with the propane flash, but I certainly wouldn't be sat here with my hand covered up. Ouch, I once burnt my hair off after messing on with a lighted jet hairspray bottle (long story) which ignited a fine layer of dust all over the plasterboard ceiling. I heard a kind of "wumpff" noise, and it was at least 30mins later when I touched my hair and it was all hard and brittle and just crumbled off the top of me. I put 2 and 2 together and realised what that noise was. It was the 'thump' that caught my attention more than anything else....and I can still smell burnt hair this morning...

How long do you have to wear the bandages for? Got to changed every two days, for about 3 weeks they reckon.. Still one advantage, I've had a few offers of nurses in outfits (Well they aren't qualified, but I'm not bothered ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
