Well, since many people have asked in threads, and also by PM,
I finally managed to find the old (backup) of the thread regarding the explosion incident that almost severely maimed/ killed me back in 2006.
So, here we go:
Heres the story...25 Nov, 2006... Almost lost my hands and face/sight, and quite possibly my life... More on that below
I was testing out a new flash/concussion mixture for police. It was only 2 grammes. (so, about the dimensions of 5 nickles stacked upon one another) My hands were less than 6 inches away from it when it exploded. You all see the results. Remember this is only 2 grammes! :shock:
I've been told I probably have tendon/muscle damage in my fingers, and I am off to a specialist, but it is still too early to tell. Some third degree, which is good and bad, since there is some nerve damage- I feel most of the pain. Not all of it thou. The drugs help with the pain thou.
So it takes me a long time to answer and type, this alone took over 35 mins to write.
Oh, and I would like to thank the Police officer who helped me out the following weeks, as I was "stuck" in his county (at the hospital for a few days and than his residence) after the accident.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

And what they look like all wrapped up- so ya, typing is not too easy.
So ya I played with fire and got burned! :roll: :?![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Right before the explosion happened, I was located about 1 foot away,(if that) with my hands about 2 INCHES from the point of explosion. About ten seconds before the thing went off, I had a funny feeling, so I pulled down my helmet visor. I had it up most the time, since it kept fogging up from my breath... :shock:
