BOISE, Idaho – A SUV full of teenagers crashed in Idaho after one of the passengers lit the driver's armpit hair on fire with a lighter, authorities said Wednesday.

All five young people in the Ford Bronco were hurt in the crash Sunday and received medical treatment, the Ada County Sheriff's Office said.

Two of the passengers, ages 15 and 16, were thrown from the vehicle, but none of the five suffered life-threatening injuries.

I know it’s petty but shouldn’t it be “AN SUV...”?

We shouldn't be judgmental...

Really now, who among us has not, at one time or another, at least CONSIDERED setting the driver's armpit hair on fire?

Oh, c'mon, let's not always see the same hands...

Peek-a-boo is also a bad idea.

It wasn’t me. I wasn’t there. You have no evidence.

I cannot imagine. The only thing I can think of is that he didn’t realize that it would burn so hot and so fast.
The poor guy driving is going to face charges, and I think the arsonist should get the same, tit for tat.

Kids just don’t realize how fast hair burns.

My armpits got set on fire all the time when I was a teen. I never wrecked my 68 Bronco.

Wow! That’s what I’d call having a bad hair day of the worst sort.

He should get worse, IMO.

How about making a blowtorch out of a match and a can of Lysol?

Burning armpits? ;-)

Seriously, you’re right. He could have gotten them all killed with that stunt.

If a young man has hairy pits, and someone sets one on fire, all he has to do is slam his armpit closed, and the fire will go out.

But if he was wearing certain types of deodorant, such as a spray-on type that contains a gas propellant, the flame will explode extremely suddenly and widely. Remember when Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire during a rehearsal due to some chemical in his hair product?
