Aussie police fail to RTFM, are very lucky

Australia taser news - Hunter Valley police used a taser on a 41-year-old Raymond Terrace woman who had doused herself and her home in petrol (gasoline). [LINK]

For some reason, the woman in this case did not burst into flames. That sort of thing has happened.

I thought I read that Taser International had gleefully added (after the fact) this purely-external risk factor (for example, regarding certain flammable pepper sprays) to the training and product manuals.

It's just pure dumb luck that this petrol-soaked woman wasn't set alight by the taser sparks.

Next time, Read The Fricken Manual.
