Fart sparks fire during surgery in Japan; patient seriously burnt

A patient's fart during a surgical procedure allegedly sparked a fire which caused her to be seriously burnt, the Tokyo Medical University Hospital in Shinjuku Ward said.

The incident was reported in Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.

The fire occurred at the university hospital in Tokyo on April 15. The patient, in her 30s, was undergoing an operation which involved applying a laser to her cervix, the lower part of the uterus.

The laser is believed to have been ignited by the gas she passed. The fire burnt much of her body, including her waist and legs, the report said.

A committee of external experts who examined the case said in a report released on Oct 28 that no flammable materials were in the operation room during the surgery.

It also mentioned that the operation equipment was functioning normally.

"When the patient's intestinal gas leaked into the space of the operation (room), it ignited with the irradiation of the laser, and the burning spread, eventually reaching the surgical drape and causing the fire," the report said.

My college roommate used to light his farts on fire.  One time, he managed to catch his underwear on fire too.  It was one of the funniest damn things I ever saw...him flopping around on the floor frantically trying to extinguish himself.

Saw several guys do this back in college.  I have never been much for physical humor or finding humor in other's misfortunes.  

But seeing the panic in their eyes, and then the pain and suprise of racking themselves by flailing wildly at their crotch in an effort to put the flames out did have me crying from laughing so hard.
