Besides crying it will also make you think about that welder or cutting torch.

2 main thoughts behind this post were to get those that do that in there own shop to be more cautious and more observant.

Damn, That really suxs... One thing to remember is that if you are a smoker or if you like to light your torch with a "BIC LIGHTER" DON'T !!! My dad had a friend that used to light his torch with a BIC lighter.. To make a long story short...he put the lighter back in his pants pocket and started to cut shocks off an old truck  a spark landed on his pants and burned thru the pants and the pocket and into the lighter which "EXPLODED" Blowing his right leg off. Before his workers could stop the bleeding, he bleed to death...Life's to short as it is so please use a striker.

Wooow..... That's one horrible story to learn from.. That will make you think twice about having a bic type lighter in your pocket while using a torch/welder....
