Industrial explosions tend to occur most often as a result of gases being exposed to fire, static electricity, sparks, or even a sudden increase in pressure. These incidents can cause significant damage to anyone around and tend to be incredibly unpredictable.
Suffering life-changing injuries as a result of an explosion can be incredibly devastating. It is all too common for victims of explosions to have to go through extensive medical treatment. Dealing with blast injuries, significant burns, and even severe internal organ injuries can be mentally and physically draining.
