Pictures: Father who Held a Torch between his Teeth Suffers Horrific Burns after it Explodes

 A lot of us do this, guys. That's mainly why I'm posting this story. This man pictured above from Colorado was severely burned after a flashlight exploded as he held it in his mouth.

Christopher Reid Carrington was busy using his hands to look for tools in the back of his truck. Within an instant, the flashlight exploded leaving him unable to speak as blood gushed from his mouth. Fortunately, his seven-year-old son was able to call 911.



Mr Carrington was rushed to the University of Colorado Hospital's Intensive Care Burn Unit where
he was treated for third-degree burns to his lip, tongue and throat.

He had to spend four days in hospital with a tube down his throat in order for him to breathe.
