Reminds me of the guy who filled a bunch of garbage bags with acetylene gas. He put them in his canopy to transport them to the place where he was going to party that night. He had plans to light fuses out of diesel soaked string and let the homemade balloons rise in the air and explode giving a spectacular site. The static electricity from the drive and the bags rubbing together, was enough to ignite one bag and causing all the rest to explode. He was soon to be donning his own wings, for a flight to heaven, angle wings that is. He died of his injuries.
