How Not To Cut A Propane Tank In Half [Video]

How does that old saying go? "If you play with fire, you’re gonna get burned"?

This guy probably should have heeded that warning. 

A young Russian man decided to use a blow torch to try and split a propane tank in half and, yep, it’s just as disastrous as you’re imagining.

He breaks through the metal and instantly loses his eyebrows and his dignity as the propane tank ignites.

Throughout the rest of the video we watch as the fire grows to engulf the heavy machinery nearby and more people show up trying to help the situation. All set to a silly version of “The Muffin Man”. The music really drives home the idiocy depicted in the video.

If this guy’s goal was to light everything on fire, endanger a bunch of lives including his own, and ruin some expensive equipment, then he should be super proud of his accomplishments.
