When I was a kid, a friend started taking the bolts off a go cart tire when it was still full of air. Why I haven't a clue. The tire exploded and the middle part shattered, sending that shrapnel right into his face. It killed him. 40 years later it still comes to me in my dreams.

This is just beyond stupid, but par for the course these days.
