LIGHT-SABRE DUEL PUTS TWO IN HOSPITAL

Post by **Furtive** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:36 pm

TWO Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after duelling with lightsabres made by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

The pair - a man aged 20 and a girl of 17 - are believed to have been filming a mock fight when one of the devices exploded in woodland on Sunday.

They were rushed to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex.

Police say a third person present at the incident was questioned.

If you strike me down, I shall need more medical attention than you can possibly imagine.

Am I the only one who doesn't get how/why they would fill flourescent lights with gasoline?

Reminds me of the kid who whacks a flaming gas-filled cantaloupe with a baseball bat. :icon27:

The most logical solution woud have been to use a 48" tube from an LED underbody kit and then emphasize the light with some software.

I think the most logical solution would be to not try and make a lightsaber in the first place.
