Anyway, one of the riders had a head lamp with a li-po battery in his
pack. He, apparently, had some metallic tools in the pannier, also.
This caused a short circuit and the result was spectacular.

Once upon a time, I saw a napalm tank rupture and ignite on an F4
while it was on the ground at Qui Nhon... 'bout the same, only on a
smaller scale, of course. It happened on a long hill and it took him
several seconds to realize that he was burning.

Damn, those lithium-polymer batteries do burn merrily! Top it off, he
had a CG frame! And, to make matters even worse, he had just finished
an argument about CG frames.


Wow. Too bad nobody got a photo!


I was thinking it would make a good advert for using a dynamo ;-)
