I tried to write my name in burnt grass in our field next to my house, nearly burned the whole field down. Two weeks later my dad did a "controlled" burn to get rid of the underbrush anyways.

Went out on some ice and began chiseling around me with a large metal pole, jumped off just as the ice went under.

yea not fun but a good prank in the right place.

in electrical training class one we used to wired up the ballasts from a fluorescent light and touch the output.
it puts out a high voltage and low amperage so although it hurt like hell it wasn't deadly

great fun

when i first made a mini ghetto cannon (shampoo bottle) the flame was burning in the chamber and i didn't know (there was no amo in it) and i looked down the barrel and then it fired in my face....and burnt off my eyebrows lol....

last one was i left the cannon at my friends house and they started shooting eachother with it that night.

I lit my pants on fire twice in one day while TIG welding some mild steel in class...let's just say im happy my phone was in my leg pocket away from the flames...

The fire ended up getting to my car key in my other pocket and destroyed the security chip in it.
I ended up calling AAA...

So wait, You put a metal washer inbetween a pair of 120v extension cords and when you plugged it in you tripped the main panel breaker before the smaller 15/20A branch circuit breaker????

Now I think you have some panel problems if that happened...

And the washer shot to the roof??
I just cant see that happening even with 20A 120V on a properly working circuit...

I'm an electrician so I've seen some crazy things but nothing like that...
