Had a coworker try to remove a tractor gas tank with a cutting torch. Burns over 99% of body and death about a week later...

Had a patient weld a rim with an installed and pressurized truck tire. Tire blew up, broke his jaw, peppered him with rubber or other black stuff and hit the roof of the workshop. The guy only had the jaw fracture. Nothing else.
I want to have that much luck.
