A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in
the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the
motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man,
still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door
and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house.

The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room and
found her husband lying on the floor, cut and bleeding,
the motorcycle lying next to him and the patio door
shattered. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an
ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the
wife went down several flights of long steps to the
street to direct the paramedics to her husband.

|
After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the
hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside.
Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some paper
towels, blotted up the gasoline and threw the towels in the toilet. The
husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come home.
|
|
After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the
damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went into the
bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the
cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while still
seated. The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and
her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her
husband lying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he
was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin.
|
|
The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance. The same
ambulance crew was dispatched and the wife met them on the street.
The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began
carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to
the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the
wife how her husband had burned himself. She told them and the
paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them tipped the
stretcher and dumped the husband out.

He fell down the remaining steps and broke his leg.
