Default What happens when you smash a can of WD40

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/darwin-at...+40-280250.php

You've gotta love natural selection caught on video. Intelligent people know that it isn't a good idea to smash a can of WD-40, even if they're curious about what would happen if they did. Luckily, some mouthbreathers decided that they'd give it a whirl, showing us exactly why we're so smart to not have done such a thing. Thanks, idiots!

haha... we used to light cans of starting fluid on fire, but at least we had the sense to puncture the can with a bullet, from a safe distance.

Hes lucky he didnt get in shrapnel wedged into his body...

Stop, drop and roll baby

That was intense

Edit: That slow motion part might be the funniest thing I have ever seen.

He modified the "stop, drop and roll" into:

Roll and drop

Thats about what happens. My buddy and I are guilty of putting wd40 in a squirt gun and making a homemade flame thrower.
