And the first contender, albeit in a secondary category, but trying hard, I feel we would all agree when you involve Aussie NT crocs is.......

Some people near me may qualify for a honourable mention after inadvertently torching their house at the weekend by burning household rubbish on the wooden decking outside their back door. The cause is now disputed but I gather was promulgated by the fire brigade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident Apologies as this is not 2021, but I stumbled on it a few days ago. Quite shocking really " Alves succeeded in puncturing the capsule's aperture window with a screwdriver, allowing him to see a deep blue light coming from the tiny opening he had created.[1] He inserted the screwdriver and successfully scooped out some of the glowing substance"

There are old reloaders and there are bold reloaders, but there are no.......
I have no intention of trying to fire anything from it as I imagine it would likely end up like the gent in the video.
