TORONTO – A Colorado man suffered life-threatening injuries Sunday after jumping out of a vehicle to avoid being burned by a lit cigarette.

Aurora police said the man was backing his vehicle out of a driveway Sunday when he reportedly dropped the cigarette down the front of his coat.

According to NBC News, the man got out of his vehicle, which was still in gear and rolling when it knocked him to ground and rolled over his head.

He was rushed to hospital and police said the unidentified man is expected to survive.

The funny thing is, you will find incidents such as this, in the stats used by the anti smoking lobby.

Knew a guy who was drunk, had a sober designated driver to drive his truck home, but when he got into his truck his fat fell off. So he reached down to pick it up, fell out of his truck, landed on his head and died. Wasn't driving...sh itty things happen all the time.

You know what else is bad for your health? Stupidity. It really is.

yes, yes it is. Mother Nature doesn't like stupidity. She's biased like that. Bless her wee little green heart.

Perhaps the fact that he was American has more to do with it than the smoke being the guilty party.

Nationality does not dictate stupidity. Have you not seen the internet?

How many other people have run over their hand due to a cigarette?

well it was his head he ran over.

Do you have a link to a site that scientifically prooves those who live or are born on US soil have a markedly small IQ? Cause if so, the world would love to see it.

Correction noted. Other than he ran over his head, didn't think I would need one as it seems to be a low IQ move from any angle. I would have used the word Canadian if that is where it said he was from.

It'd take a few seconds for a lit cigarette to burn you, especially if you have clothes on. Plenty of time to stop the car, jam the emergency break on and then step out.

This guy was just an idiot.

Oh, the glory of typos. His fat fell off, that is some weight-loss program!


Sad to hear that he died, though. I am certainly NOT laughing at that, Twila.

Well your first comment suggests you believe American's are stupid, not that smoking is at fault. So second quote seems disingenious.

Unless you are suggestion that being either Canadian or American automatically makes you stupid...
