possibility of explosion or death

[Avatar28]

On my local grotto's board, someone had commented something about still having a carbide lamp. Some else (jokingly I'm pretty sure) replied "yeah! I want an Aceto. The intrsuctions from PETZL have the words, "Possibility of explosion or death." How can you not like that? "

I suggested that if that's all he wanted that he should just buy a light and use multiple unprotected Li-Ion cells and run em flat. And for better possibility of death, be sure to wear the battery pack on your helmet.

Well, I thought it was funny anyways. 🙂

As far as I understand, running the cells flat is surprisingly unlikely to make them burst in the flashlight.
They might burst when you attempt recharging, but just keeping them on the helmet as you kill them is not an effective means of suicide. 😛

Skip the helmet and wear the battery pack on the top front of your head. Then when you bash your head in the grotto... 😗
