  • retral, on 10/27/2007, -6/+241Maybe fire departments around the world will use this as the new demonstration video for their child "Stop Drop & Roll" safety tip.
  • theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -20/+184In the immortal words of Adam Savage:
    "Did I, LOSE, an eyebrow?"

  • baggedlunch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+166It's already on fire when he hits it.
  • Sccatter, on 10/20/2007, -7/+168BURNINATED!!!!
  • Harbinger67, on 10/26/2007, -4/+121Somthing makes me want to pay this kid 20$ to try to write his initials in an oxygen cylinder with a cutting torch.
  • igraham09, on 10/12/2007, -10/+102I'd be willing to bet that that wouldn't have happened if he hadn't set it ON FIRE first... I don't know though, just a thought

    [edit] baggedlunch (below) had pointed this out 5 hours before me :D
  • olego, on 10/12/2007, -6/+98Cool vid, once you find it among all the spam.
  • r00tus3r, on 10/27/2007, -5/+95Full points for the roll!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+97That's what happens when you don't pay attention during the "highly reactive substances" chemistry lesson and physics "violently exothermic reactions" lesson.
  • lachlan334, on 10/12/2007, -1/+85Well now that I've seen it, I don't have to do it.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+87There's so much going on on that website, I had a hard time telling which of the blinking rectangles the ads and the clip were. Besides, the clip was ripped from break.com (logo gave it away).

    Non-spam link: http://www.break.com/index/wd40_explosion.html
  • inactive, on 10/26/2007, -4/+8530 second ad before seeing 7 seconds of video. Yeah, that's a great site.
  • heartBaker, on 10/12/2007, -4/+85He *did* stop, drop and roll excellently! (referring to comment on the vid page)
  • rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -5/+79Yeah, and it made my stop drop and rofl.
  • Yoshi39, on 10/12/2007, -5/+75My eyes...zee goggles do nothing!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+73Next installment: Lighting a can of Acetylene with a blowtorch. Bonus material: Induction into the Darwin Awards Hall of Fame.

  • kpw1179, on 10/12/2007, -3/+65That kid really has the "stop. drop. and roll." thing down. I get the feeling he's hit highly pressurized flaming objects with a sledge hammer before.
  • atlacatl, on 10/12/2007, -4/+65"Individuals like that should be removed from the gene pool."

    If you remove them by force, it wouldn't be as much fun to watch them doing it them selves. Long live the jackass generation.
  • Optimaximal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+46he did... IN SLOW MOTION!!!
  • mrops, on 10/12/2007, -0/+40"It's too bad we are creating morons like this still. Whatever happened to natural selection? People this stupid should have died out shortly after birth"

    They used too, but then we stopped making pointed toys and chemistry sets.
  • raabco, on 10/12/2007, -4/+41It wasn't funny until you hear 'Ooooohhhhh fffuuuuuucccckkkkkk!' In slow motion... Then, it's hilarious!

  • kuj007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33that's not a lawsuit you smell... that's his eyebrows.
  • numptydumpty, on 10/12/2007, -10/+41Digg.com - the quality news site.
  • Sassanix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32this is posted under educational section haha rofl
  • RandomSkratch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28"Have you ever wondered what would happen if you hit a can of WD-40 with a sledgehammer?"

    No.
  • nathanlandis, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30Congratulations. I was actually guessing that absolutely nothing would happen and this link was dugg for no reason. Where did you go to school? I want to send my kids there so they can be as smart as you.
  • omgitscolin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+35Yeah, I was gonna say something about that, but it turned out to be totally worth the spam.
  • JerodSlay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27I love the "ahh *****!!!" in slow motion. Truly classic.
  • mumblingmynah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27But no safety gear at all... If you have to try something like this, at least wear goggles!
  • Nubilous, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Now this is news! Dumbasses are getting smarter! I'm surprised he remember to stop, drop and... windmill.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25More like, Rolling On The Floor Burning.
  • frant1c, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23"Do not puncture or throw in fire even when empty." Puncture-schmuncture, what do they know!
  • Jackanapes, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25HE HATES THESE CANS!!!!!!

    /the jerk
  • Qliphah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Nowhere does it say "Do not smack with a sledgehammer". I think I smell lawsuit!
  • ZeroMP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Looks like he needs a longer hammer.
  • raze888, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20@Edam
    I don't think you have to think twice about it, judging from the video, they'll be removing themselves from the gene pool soon enough.
  • dasaroth, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21Where's the sledgehammer???
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21@retral

    That's what surprised me most. He was able to keep his composure and remember to drop and roll.

    It's too bad we are creating morons like this still. Whatever happened to natural selection? People this stupid should have died out shortly after birth
  • dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16And that concludes my presentation, titled "How I Lost My Eyebrows During Winter Break." Questions?
  • Fluidity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Hmmm I would have hoped common sense would have limited the use of WD40 to, well, oiling things that need oiling and not exploding it at all! Ah well.
  • godofhonk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15it was the thatch-roofed cottages.



    THATCH-ROOFED COTTAGES!!!!!!
  • Edam, on 10/12/2007, -25/+35Individuals like that should be removed from the gene pool.
  • Battlecry, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14You can't quote a movie from 1979 (even an awesome one like that) and expect to be dugg up. 70% of the people on digg weren't even alive then.
  • sephiroth965, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Or at least sterilize yourself.
  • RC2k6, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15Some people are born with all the brains
  • aaronmcdonald, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Thats so dangerous...He could of hit himself on the toe with that sledgehammer!
  • ales, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Also from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wd40

    "While its uses are many and varied, WD-40 should _not_ be used as a general-purpose lubricant..."
