Experience description:

I was 4 years old. My grand mother was burning leaves in the yard, we lived in the country. I was running around picking stuff up and throwing it into the fire. I went to the area where the barrel is that we burn trash in. There was an aerosol can that had fallen out of the barrel. I picked it up and threw it into the fire. A few seconds later the can exploded. The shrapnel went flying and some of it hit me. The pain was amazing and the sound of the explosion was deafening. The next thing I know, I'm standing next to a tree watching a little girl run past me screaming. My grandmother said I was running and screaming. During the oobe I didn't feel the pain of the burns, and I didn't feel scared. After I came back to myself, the pain was incredible. I still have scars on my arm today to remind me of that day.
