A vape battery exploded in a man's pocket, severely burning his leg and requiring a skin graft.

Summary

Gavin Sutherland was airlifted to hospital after a vape battery exploded in his pocket while he was working in a jewellery workshop in Orkney. The blast seared into his thigh, burning through his denim and boxer shorts. Colleagues helped him to Balfour Hospital, where doctors deemed the injury serious enough to send him for specialist treatment at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. A Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance helicopter transported him for skin graft work. The incident prompted his son and a friend to raise nearly £7,000 for the charity.
