A car parked stationary under the sun can have temperatures shoot up drastically and also incredibly increasing the temperature of its contents. This singular reason is why it is extremely unwise to leave living beings like kids or pets in the car in hot weather.... Children have been killed like this at several times all over the world. So don't even think it's restricted to particular regions.


A new incident has just revealed that this warning should extend beyond just living beings but also to pressured cans like hairsprays, perfumes, etc and also loaded guns.

Unfortunately a lady in Washington, Karmen Ayres’ had a bitter experience after her windshield got a massive damage from an exploded can of hairspray while she was at work.

According to Jalopnik, "On closer inspection, she noticed it was a can of hairspray lodged in her cracked windshield. She said she had left the can in her car on the back passenger side seat.

“At first I looked up, because I thought maybe something fell,” Eyres said. “But then I noticed it was from the inside out. I was in shock and then I realized what it was.”

Imagine the sheer force that deployed the can from the backseat right to the front windshield. Good thing that no one was in the car to have taken a direct hit from the can

Here in Nigeria, some years ago, a lady's fire extinguisher exploded in her boot and completely coated the whole car with white powder up-to her front windscreen. Though in her case, the fire extinguisher had expired.

The bottomline is that you should always mind what we leave in the car. If you feel they might be affected by heat, kindly look for something like a cloth especially dark coloured ones that can absorb the heat to the barest minimum and throw over the item. Or put them inside a bag especially at the back if your car has tinted privacy windows where the tint should help reduce the intensity of the heat.

hmm

I had a similar issue when a canister of AC gas exploded and tore through my car's windshield at around 1.30-2.00pm one day...

Agreed
. That's how my gas I was supposed to use to Refill my ac exploded inside my car cos I kept it inside and locked all doors.. Happened. In Jan...damaged my side mirror.. And d other place in the pics..

Actually a light coloured cloth is better to wrap around a canister of aerosol..as heat/is reflected by light colours like White etc. reason why we feel hot when we wear a black shirt under the sun.

Okay. Thanks for the info

OK, thanks

For those of us that don't have tyre talk less of car

This is very insightful and memory enlightening.

Like seriously?

Most of Car users are guilty of this act though

Vehicles can be hot sometimes. Remembered how the steering cover was heating my hands once. Had to use an handkerchief.

Good morning....

Good information. Thanks.

Hmmmm make those way get car cum comment make we dey read n observe

Like something you see on Final Destination

This is not a special case in Nigeria
We are used to it

Because

The weather is always very hot.

Its called tyre. Not tire. God will give you yours. Amen.

So I thought when I saw the line written by the OP

noted, will remember this when i buy my car

Make i go check my car..

I experienced it while I was an undergraduate, it completely blew out my windsreem, it was a canned starch.

frenzyduchess:

I tap from your faith my dear.

The pictures go against everything physics! Totally impossible!

Now, for a canister to be turned into a projectile, gas has to be expelled violently from it. In a situation like this, which accidentally results from heating, the weakest seal edge is where tends to be compromised, and guess where that is on the contaimer- the TOP of it!

Now, if gas is expelled so fast as to propell the can itself, it means the can WILL MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION to the direction of the expulsion! This very principle is Newton's Third law of motion!

So, tell me fellas, how come the canister is positioned in such a manner when it should be the button that should be stuck up like that?

I perfectly understand the main advice of not leaving such objects in the car under such conditions is very important, but the picture should have be PROPERLY STAGGED as well.

When d temperatures in naija can reach 42 degrees, am sure it will remove d windscreen then

this happened to me about 3 months ago

We shall get there very soon. We are even at advantage cos we are learning from those that have experienced it

was the position of the can in the car stated in the post?

Oga, you mixed it up, that is actually Newton's Third Law of Motion: To every action, there is equal and opposite reaction force.
The first law is the law of INERTIA, while the second law is what led to F=ma.
