Safety Third : A Public Service Announcement
August/18/2007 Filed in: getting
ready | pyramid project
Because we here at Boogie Universal care about the personal safety
and well-being of all visitors to the Boogie Pyramid, we've done
some intensive safety tests to our structure to make sure it does
not catch fire and melt, which would result in massive casualties
and a Superfund toxic waste emergency. As you already know, our
pyramid is constructed from recycled billboard vinyl, the
flammability of which was untested.
Here you can see Moontroll, aka DJ Playaduster, subjecting the vinyl to serious fire testing with his Bic lighter. Luckily, the material did not combusticate, but only sort of melted and withered a bit, extinguishing itself after releasing small black puffs of nasty smoke. Our crew of Safety Third Inspectors approved the general soundness of the flammability thresholds, though it was decided that having a few extinguishers on hand wouldn't be a bad idea.
They also stressed the importance of keeping fire-breathing art cars that send out 80-foot columns of jet fuel fireballs into the air far away from our pyramid. Flaming hula hoopers could be a safety hazard too...
