Not exactly handman accident - but witnessed campfire surrounded by
half dozen folks, do-ggooder decides to stoke fire with coleman
lantern fuel by sloshing it out of gallon can. Can catches fire - he
drops can - then decides it might explode or something crazy - he
kicks the can away from the fire - he explodes into very pretty bluish
and orange flame. Quickly he is wrapped in sleeping bag by on-lookers
once able to catch him ...still 40% burned..took ambulance 45 minutes
to get there - a horrible 45 minutes to watch anyone endure.
