A worker at Yellowstone National Park learned the hard way this past week what happens when a can of bear spray explodes in your car, blowing through the windshield and launching itself more than 200 feet.

PSA, gets real hot in cars with the windows rolled up, even on a seemingly cool day.

A couple years ago I pulled up to work and noted a can of bear spray in my door storage. I knew it was forecast to be a hot one, so I grabbed it and put it in my pickup bed. I then forgot about it, but a couple days later, when I was in the field, it blew up and it could be heard from inside the office. I got lucky that is was in the pickup bed and not the cab.

Buddy of mine left one in his new pickup at work and had it blow up. We were framing a house and heard the muffled “bop”. Nobody knew what it was til lunch. It melted all the decals that labeled fan speed and direction and stunk for over a year in there

Had a can of insect repellent explode in the work truck. That was bad enough. I have never left any aerosol can in a car since.

Did the smell ever go away? Seems like that would be a forever smell.

Dang, I leave bear spray in my truck all the time. Guess I’ll stop doing that!

Never thought of that. I've had one for a few years in mine but it is almost empty so maybe that helped.

Hope he likes spicy!

Yeah I don’t notice it too much when I ride with him anymore. The following summer it flared up pretty good again but he got it detailed and it’s pretty good now. Never did fix those dials though!
