There has been accidents in my work, and I thought I have seen a lot ...
So damn stupid I have been ...
I almost died today ...
A complete idiot decided to check if a bottle of pure acetylene(if you are not into chemistry, Highly Combustable, Extremely Flamable, Poisonous gas, that makes volume explosions if in contact with open flame, spark, even cigarette) is full with a cigarette in his mouth.
Thanks to Mother Nature for the "adrenaline rush", I managed to jump over the bottle and cut the gaz float before it all get messy ... (3 years ago, there was a chain explosion of 2 small bottles of acetylene in another town. About 1 square kilometer around, there were no windows left on the buildings. The bottle from today contained more gaz than the 2 small bottles together).
Anyway, enough details
.... my point is ....
Guys, have fun and enjoy life !!! It's a wonderful thing 
Phew, I'm glad that you survived Sonar! And I totally agree with your message. It is only 2 weeks and 2 days ago that I had an incident where I feared that I might die, and this has a major impact on how you think about everyday life experiences. So yes, guys, have fun and enjoy life!!! It is a wonderful thing and I am happy that we can enjoy it together.

Oo! That sounds exciting. It's a good thing you're in shape and you were paying attention. I'm glad it all worked out OK. I hope you yelled at him!
Or was it you who was the complete idiot? Upon reflection and re-reading, I'm not sure. If it was you, I'll yell at you too. :-P
No, it was not me
And yes, I yelled at him .... a lot !
So that made me nearly an orphin on my birthday.
Glad you OK Sonar (Padre)
