Triton helmet danger

[cellist]

I thought I'd better post something after a most unfortunate incident occurred today. I was sanding away, wearing my Triton respirator helmet. The gusset was tight around my neck and the fan/battery/filter unit was belted around my waist, with the unit behind my back.

Suddenly, the most horrendous smell filled the helmet. It was as if I had crawled up someone's anus on some sort of a reconnaissance mission. I gagged. I spluttered and fumbled to raise the visor.

Let's put it his way, fellow woodworkers...if you wear one of these helmets, wear the unit on your hip. That way your own farts won't kill you. :B

It's even funnier when your mate is wearing a triton and you walk up along side and all the while pretending to be his/her best buddy you let one rip!

:U Roflmao :U

[The Bleeder]

Gives a whole new meaning to 'recycling' :o:o

[malb]

Sounds like what my dear old dad used to call a "rip snorter"

Should this not be in the Woodies Jokes section?

[WoodJunky]

:rotfl: good one !! :rotfl:

nothing worse than gagging on your own fart

[FRB Design]

At least now u know it doesn't filter odors........................... funny

[Mollywood]

I'm crying laughing.....:hahaha:

[Groggy]

Triton really should put a big warning label on these things, I know what you mean. :badair:

[DavidG]

This is a known fault with this type of system.
It has been noted that the problem becomes more severe when beans have been consumed in the hours prior to the fault occurring, particularly when consumed with chili.

[JackoH]

I thought your own farts didn't smell?

[fenderbelly]

someone explained to me once that a fart is the fastest thing in the world , hows that says i,he said it's no sooner out of your bum than it's up your nose.

Come on Guys,these jokes smell a bit.
The machine must have been designed by someone like myself.
A bit of a sadist.You are laughing.
How do you think he reacts when they sell another one to an old farter.

[joe greiner]

Some folks say that onions make people fart.
Not true. People make onions fart.

relating this thread yesterday to some fellow woodies

The story came out of one fellows troubles wearing one.

Just like Cellist but he was wearing it at a demonstration not only did he suffer the problem of hot air rising but also the embarrassment of not hearing it while his audience did. :U :roll::B

I understand methane is poisonous.

Suppose if it's trapped in the helmet it won't harm the environment.

[tea lady]

I guess if we caught them in jam jars and buried them my could do our bit for global warming.:D (Carbon sequestration? :hmm: )

[Geoff Dean]

TL, you can catch them in jam jars, and a week later, when opened under the nose of a friend, will still have the desired effect.:D:D:D

[rsser]

Who said children are like farts? .... you're quite interested in your own but not in other people's.

[tea lady]

TL, you can catch them in jam jars, and a week later, when opened under the nose of a friend, will still have the desired effect.:D:D:D Just imagine when they unearth them in a few centuries.. Maybe the could clone someone from a fart by then.:D Or invent a new type of anthropology. What did people eat in 2008.:hmm::cool:


Who said children are like farts? .... you're quite interested in your own but not in other people's. :D But in reverse ALL parents are old farts.:rolleyes:

[Hippety Hop]

My guess is that radioactive scorpions will rule the earth in a couple of centuries...

Etc...

[Evan Pavlidis]

Now we know for sure the Triton is only to trap dust; very informative review :D. LOL
Getting a fart inside your helmet would have the greenhouse effect :oo:

[Allan at Wallan]

It confirms the old saying of
"getting your own back":D

You could also just casually wander behind someone at the appropriate time. :whistling: :fart: A way to sabotage the more annoying and know-it-all wood turner.:D
