its not cuz of the cell phone, static came off her wool sweater after she sat in the car and then as she was adjusting her sweater before touching the nozzle.
Cell Phone....seriously? If you look closely you'll see that she gets back into the car then gets back out again without touching any of the metal frame and is carrying a static charge from what looks to be a wool sweater. ZAP! The static discharge is VERY similar to the zap the spark plug uses to ignite the gasoline.
This video is misleading, it is not a fire caused by cell phone use. It was caused by static electricity, caused by the woman sliding her but in and out of the plastic vehicle and not grounding herself to the vehicle before touching the pump nozzle.
Damn! I don't even remember posting a comment here. How long ago was it? I don't mind people calling me mental. That's exacly why people pay me $300.00 per hour! I am a pro videographer and my clients say: That's so good! Or, man that's sick!
that wastnt because of a cell phone it was because she didnt touch any part of the car before she grabbed the pump its a proven fact that if dont touch your car on the way out and you go to put the gas in the static electricity from your body will cause a spark wich will start a fire i think i saw it on daily planet lol
This was caused from her sweater. She 'ruffles' it right before touching the pump. This is why they ask you to stay at the pump. You are more likely to not let go of the handle and therefore, reduce the likelyness of static.
Since we cannot copy and paste any you tube link, Just type "static discharge" and go to 1:15 and listen for yourself what the statistics say: 75% of the cause of fire on the gas stations are women!LOL!!
IT HAD TO BE A GIRL! LOL! they don't know shit about this things OR even WORSE, even if someone tell women something, they completely ignore. tsk tsk tsk...
I don't think your sexist comment are even remotely funny and I am sure everybody else here agrees, so keep your stupid comments for yourself and go back to whichever cave you came from.
Actually studies have shown that women are much more likely to cause gas station fires then men simply based on the fact that they are much more likely to get back in the car and also based on the fact that they tend to wear static inducing clothing more then men.
what do you mean by "!1"? I already said she builds up static by entering the vehicle.
I also want to add to my other comment that you dont need to enter the vehicle to build up static simply moving while waiting can build up enough static under the right conditions, so remember to always discharge yourself before touching the nozzle or near it.
@TheIndigoViper lol typo ........ I have spent the last 7 years hauling fuel and i can honestl;y say i have pretty much 'seen it all' ..... i have personally watched a static fire similiar to this ..... but the case was just the pressure release of fumes in the tank the the attendant wearing a nylon jacket ...... he lost his eyebrows ( very lucky )
The others are right. This has nothing to do with her cell phone, it's the getting back into the car. You can see her straightening her clothes a couple of times because they're sticking to her. She also appears to have her sleeves over part of her hands, which probably also contributed to not getting grounded when she got in or out of the car.
If you have static, just touch the door sill or other metal part of the car before you touch the pump and you'll ground out.
DUH! Yeah pull out a flaming nozzle and then wipe it on the ground like its a burning piece of paper. She should have squeezed the handle. Maybe the gas would have put out the fire. HAHA
its because she had static discharge because she was rubbing on her clothesand most likely because of the car seat too
have you ever got a static shock by getting out of your car then touching sommit metal
you shouldent use the auto pump because the pump handle is earthed so if you tale your hands off then rub your clothes and touch the handle then this is a likely outcome as fumes will be belching out the nosel
We had some young dumb dead behind the eyes skank ("Princess Running Mouth")do exactly this at the gas pumps me my husband and newborn were at today.
What right do you have to endanger our lives ? We fully accept your burning carcass at the pump, it's just evolution weeding out the ignorant. just don't take the ones with brains with you.
I've been a gas attendant for years. It is NOT the cell phone. That fire was caused by her getting back into the vehicle while it was pumping and failing to discharge herself when she got back out. Modern cell phone do NOT generate enough static to be a fire danger. The real danger is getting in the car while pumping. People are too lazy these days, are they so pathetic that they can't stand outside for 5 min. while their car is filled and be safe?
I'm pretty sure Oregon has full serve because the forestry industry went under tough times and as a small solution to reducing unemployment the government made it law to create jobs. I don't think stupid people have any bearing on Oregon having full serve as the majority of the world has self serve and there are only limited incidents when compared to the number of transactions done daily at these stations.
This is why whe have laws agains self service in Oregon. Not to say most people are stupid, but EVERYONE makes stupid mistakes. And it may sound corny, but pump attendants are trained to do things like touch the metal of the pump everytime, before we reach for the nozzle. They are trained on how to put out gasoline fires. They keep the truely stupid people from doing things like smoking right next to the pump. They know a hell of alot more about that pump, and how to shut it down than anyoneelse
It is not the cell phone, nor static. I have a different, yet a better but more horrid truth...
It is the woman & the automobil. They just don't mix. The woman & the machine (in clueding voting) just cause general chaos & havoc. We must abolish the 19th amendment.
Never get back into your car when you've already got the gas pump pumping gas into the tank without grounding yourself when you get back out. It has nothing to do with the cell phone (the cell phone myth was busted on mythbusters). It was the static produced by her clothing after it rubbed against the fabric seats in the car.
I work for an international gas pump manufacturer as a service engineer, this video is used in our health and safety courses to show the effect of static build up generated by the top she was wearing against the seat coverings.
Look as she exits the car, at no point does she earth herself by touching any metalwork until her hand reaches for the nozzle.
This incident has been investigated and roadmonitoroz suggestion is absolutely correct ... No phone was involved at any time.
I totally agree with you.. it is totally the shirt and the contact of the car seat.. I hate it everytime I get out of the car. I make it a habit to get shocked. Better shocked than burmed.
I wouldn't say it's from her phone. More likely the static charge generated by that wool jumper when she got in to the car and back out again. You shouldn't enter & exit the vehicle while refueling. If you do at least discharge your static by touching the vehicle on the other side far from the filling point.
its not cuz of the cell phone, static came off her wool sweater after she sat in the car and then as she was adjusting her sweater before touching the nozzle.

denotlan21 3 years ago 2
She made three major mistakes:
1. Re-entering her vehicle thus building up static electricity.
2. Not touching ground like the cars body to discharge herself from the static electricity before touching the nozzle.
3. Removing the nozzle from the car.
In case of a fire NEVER try to remove the nozzle, because if the pump is still pumping fuel it will literally become a flamethrower!

!1 By re-entering her vehicle her clothes rubbing across the seat she 're-charged' her body with static.
#2 Correct
#3 Correct .... if she had shut off the flow of gas and just left the nozzle in the SUV the fire would have just went out

Women want to go back in their vehicle because:
1. They want to put their credit cards back in their purse
2. They want to supervise their kids in the vehicle
3. They want to stay warm
