The award goes to Norman Frey, a 46-year-old Colorado resident who thought it was a good idea to transport a large balloon filled with acetylene gas in the back seat of his car. Frey intended to use it as a fireworks display at a Super Bowl party. Only one problem: the balloon rubbed against the cheap velour interior of Frey’s late-1980s Oldsmobile and a static spark set it off, with rather predictable results.
Frey and his companion somehow managed to survive with no injuries other than ruptured eardrums. Their car, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Frey is facing a felony explosives charge (haha).
