What are the chances of you blowing up a Petrol station due to static electricity? It cant have ever happened surely? :scared:

I'm not sure but they did a stint on it on the TV show Mythbusters - they were busting the myth about mobile phones causing sparks in them, which they don't btw - and they did manage to blow up a simulation version so i'm not gonna take any chances!! :scared:
