Hold the Petrol Noozle !!! DANGER !!!

Reminder to hold the petrol nozzle at all times. D on't be lazy.
>
> Always hold onto the nozzle . A friend stopped for petrol at the
> Petrol Station (the one) at the Lingkaran Highway near Gombak) a
> little over two weeks ago. This was the first time he patronized a
> station. As his normal practice elsewhere, he put the nozzle on
> automatic and stood nearby waiting for his car to be filled up. Suddenly
> the nozzle flew out of the gas tank opening with petrol spewing out at
> high speed.
>
> He was sprayed with petrol all over, including his face and eyes (just
> imagine the pain in his eyes). His companion quickly brought him to
> toilet to wash his face. After that
> they reported the incident to the staff and asked to speak to the
> manager. The manager refused to see them. He only instructed the staff
> to take our friend to the hospital.
> According to the staff that was not the first time the nozzle came out
> of the tank while customers are filling up petrol. But our friend's
> incident was the worst.
>
> The top layer of his right eye was damaged and the area around his eye
> burnt. His eye had to be bandaged for 10 days. He was not so lucky his
> eyesight was badly affected
> and became blind. Apparently the nozzle was lighter than normal and
> the speed of the petrol created a backward thrust that pushed the
> nozzle out of the tank.
>
> So please be careful. Share this info with your friends, family &
> relatives.....
