What Are The Causes Of Explosions?

From homes to workplaces, there is one major fact: In every explosion, someone is at fault.  Negligence is the major contributor to these injuries, but it looks a little different in every circumstance. Many explosion accidents occur because of the following:

• Mishandled volatile materials: Many construction projects or even home hobbyists may have significant amounts of volatile, explosive material. If they do not use proper caution with these materials, explosions are likely and foreseeable results.
• Faulty equipment: Explosive materials in their safest form often need specialized equipment to ignite or trigger the explosion. However, if these devices are malfunctioning, then they can lead to uncontrolled detonations.
• Gas leaks: Gas lines in residential and commercial areas are damaged during unplanned excavation or car accidents. Any kind of damage to a gas line can create a leak and increase the likelihood of an explosion.

Safety protocols should prevent these accidents from happening. However, when those protocols are ignored or forgotten, people get hurt, and someone must be held accountable.

Common Injuries From Explosion Accidents

Explosions are devasting accidents that are potentially fatal. Survivors of explosions tend to have extremely serious injuries, such as:

• Burns: First-, second- and third-degree burns are all commonly associated with powerful incendiary incidents.
• Broken bones: The force of an explosion can fling people and objects, and the impacts can cause breaks in numerous places.
• Losses of limbs: Losing a limb to an explosion is one of the most common minor explosion accident injuries.
• Traumatic brain injuries: Falling and flying objects impacting the head can lead to concussions of all severities and long-lasting suffering.
• Spinal cord injuries: The same circumstances that cause head trauma can impact the spine as well, leading to paralysis and lifelong disability.
• Concussive force injuries: The concussive force of a blast can cause internal damage to the body. It may not be immediately noticeable, but the damage can be life-threatening.
• Hearing loss: The concussion of an explosion comes with a wave of sound that can permanently destroy a person’s hearing.

These injuries are complex and lifelong. They can be expensive to treat and can leave an individual in a permanent state of disability.
