mistake

You spell 'learning opportunity that will be entertaining for years to come' funny.

We have a fire suppression system attached to a big red button for our trucks. One guy pressed it because he wanted to see what would happen. The truck essentially "explodes" covering everything in dust. Dust that really doesn't like lungs.

Learning opportunity indeed.

Where I used to work we had an FM200 system that I was always super-careful around. If I even thought there was a chance I could set it off I would disconnect the firing pin then leave my car keys there so I couldn't leave without re-connecting it. They company that installed it said the sensors are looking for "fine particulate matter" so even things like drywall dust could set it off.
