Video showing a woman escaping serious injury after a static spark from her hand set fire to a gas pump as she was filling her car at a gas station in northern Israel. The incident, which happened over the weekend at a gas station at the entrance to Kibbutz Ginosar on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, was caught by security cameras. Footage shows a car with a gas pump handle balanced in the opening to the fuel tank as it is being refueled. The driver’s door opens and a woman emerges. As the driver reaches for the gas pump handle, flames erupt around it setting fire to the woman’s clothes and hair. After patting out the flames in her hair the woman reaches for the gas pump handle, but it falls to the ground spreading more fuel and increasing the flames. The woman escaped with light injuries.
