Re: Trapped Inside a Burning Vehicle
Trouble with dry powder extinguishers, which most of them are in cars, is the continual vibration in a car tends to pack the powder down the bottom and when you try to use it, it don't wanna squirt out. We saw that on the other Russian video, with the guy burning and screaming for 8 minutes, and more than a few extinguishers simply did not work. If you carry one in your car, dry powder, shake it up and around once every few months! |

Re: Trapped Inside a Burning Vehicle
So what do we learn from videos like this? The law that everyone must have one of those extinguisers in the car is plain and simply pointles. Such fires just won't go out by such wimpy ass powder thingies.

Re: Trapped Inside a Burning Vehicle
Fucking hell. The pain. I burnt my hand quite badly a few years ago, and the pain was, by a long way, the worst pain I've ever experienced. I had a plastic pop bottle in my hand, containing naphtha and lithium, I accidentally dropped some water in the bottle, then screwed the lid on. Next thing a 6 foot flame was roaring out the top of the bottle. Luckily I was near an open window and was able to chuck it out or if have burnt my house down. I was lucky enough to just avoid needing skin grafts. But the pain was unbelievable. 150ml of oramorph made no difference. It wasn't until I had entonox that I was able to stop screaming. Then I was joking and laughing with the nurses.

Re: Trapped Inside a Burning Vehicle
I had to wear a kind of mitten filled with a Jolly expensive cream containing silver sulphadiazine for 2 months. Ironically the day I went to Nottingham Queens medical burns unit was November the 5th.

Re: Trapped Inside a Burning Vehicle
I do realise my injuries are kind of pathetic, considering what we see here. Im just making the point that burns which aren't deep enough to destroy nerves are very, very painful.
