Not to mention the hose on a gas pump. I saw a pump jerked right off the island —— gas and sparks everywhere.

That's why they have those big shutoff switches at the station now. It must have happened more than once.

EDIT: I was emptying an old trunk and found the 19880409 Autoweek magazine. The cover car was the Bertone/Lambrogini Genesis. Site Search doesn't show a previous mention, so here:
