Default Taser's and Backpack Fuel Tanks don't mix

Police tried to pull over this motorcycle rider for a non-visible tag. Instead he fled at speeds up to 130mph. He was wearing a backpack containing a fuel can with fuel in it.
He finally lays the bike down and starts running. Cop is close behind and fires a taser into the backpack. Oops. I linked the video a second or two before he bails off the bike.

He might be OK, if he had good riding gear.

The video states he is expected to make a full recovery... I'm sure this was still super painful.

I nominate Mr. Numbnuts as the next inductee into the Charles Darwin Hall of Fame.
