Today, while spray painting a rocking horse for my kids I left the can outside in the sun. When I picked it up it was hot to the touch and I dropped it. It exploded on impact and now I am more blue than the rocking horse. FML

Sounds like BS to me... exploding spraycans tend to have a lot of SHRAPNEL included in their burst... How did this guy managed to get covered in spray paint without having multiple lacerations and worse?!?!?!

That's exactly what I thought. Honestly, I don't see how you could get away without some pretty nice injuries if you dropped the can right at your feet.

He said there was a large hole in the can... It could have been dented (which is why stores aren't supposed to sell dented cans) and failed right at the dent. Still YDI for leaving it in the sun... It says not to on the warning labels.

No, he doesn't say there's a hole in the can.

if there was a hole in the can there could not possibly have been an explosion, as the hole would not allow pressure to build up from the heat -_-

@82: OP: "And no, there was no "shapnel", just a large hole in the can." Read all the comments before spouting off, please. @85: See above quote. That implies the hole existed after the "explosion" and not before. Ages ago when I was a teen, my friends and I found old spray paint cans. We threw a dented spray paint can in a fire and it did just that. Not the smartest thing, but 14 year old firebugs and bonfires aren't exactly the things you leave unsupervised ;D

I bet it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds. He probely just got some paint on him, not ALL over him. Either way you don't leave pressured cans in direct sunlight YDI.

I loveee smurfs. (: So many inside jokes.

D'oh. Aerosol can in the sun? At least you weren't injured...other than your pride, I mean. :) FYL.

I'm sure you're kids will be more entertained with you than the horse. :)
