Two hurt in mock light sabre duel
Two hurt in mock light sabre duel
Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.
A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.
The pair were rushed to hospital after one of the devices exploded in woodland at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.
A third person present at the incident had been questioned, police said.
Videotape found
A videotape was found nearby by police called to the scene on Sunday.
A police spokeswoman said the pair were taken to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex.
They are both said to be in a critical condition.
She said the 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead suffered serious injuries.
She added: "At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant (flammable substance) were found at the scene."
The final film in the Star Wars series, Revenge Of The Sith, arrived at UK cinemas last week.
One of the crucial scenes features a light sabre battle between Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker.

Idiots. Its incredibly irresponsible and damn right dangerous. I hope neither are badly hurt
Two words spring to mind.
Natural selection.....
After nicking the flourescent bulbs they had clearly moved to the dark side anyway.

Classic post! Just to echo the above: I hope they survive but that their friends will never let them live it down...
I still can't figure out what the hell petrol had to do with anything anyway?
The ball is round and has many surprises.
I'm not going to say anything.................but we were younger and we didn't use petrol!!!

It may not come as a surprise to the many that I've rumbled with on this site but these two eejits are from my home town.Their stupidity was front page news in the local rag along with a local cat that got stuck up a tree. Apparently they have a website called 'Retardz.com'. Says it all, really.
