I do feel bad cause I laughed. Not because of the injury, just the fact he avoided this explosion only for that object to bounce back and nail him... That's my level of bad luck.

This person lived right? That was a gnarly impact to their torso.

Nope.

See Twitter post above.

There are a lot of reasons why electric cars catch fire but this was a propane tank that went off inside of the vehicle. That red thing? That's the tank. It has a huge hole in it because it exploded and then went through the car, bounced off of the wall, and hit the guy...

RIP. What a way to go...

Vehicle runs off of propane.
Still a good reason (as any) though not to get an electric vehicle though and yes I've been keeping track of all the objections stated here and 462 is right on.

i watched the clip slowed down and it looks like he may have broken his neck. tank hit him in roughly the chest then he flipped in the air and landed basically on his head / neck. maybe that checked him out and he did not lay on the ground and suffer. ?

Pardon my ignorance, but you have to charge a propane car? Just assumed it was EV

Misleading title.

The word "charge" can be used for filling propane canisters.

Strange how the English language works.

Best word to use is "refill."

I would have said best word is to "duck" or take up dodge ball training.

Yeah it really doesn't help that the word "charge" has about 16 definitions as both a verb and a noun, but one of them is "to load or fill to capacity" (Webster's Verb 2c).
