Fordman, I have done the same thing about 8 years ago. I was a welder for local construction company for about 2 1/2 years. I was welding a handrail joint together, had on jeans that had alot of frayed ends on the pants legs, well my pants caught on fire.
The first thing I did was put the fire out using my welding gloves. The second thing I did was throw off my welding gloves and grab the freshly welded still glowing handrail to pull myself up to my feet. That one hurt alot worse than the splitter did for sure.
