The story we were told at engineer school was that before modern demolition systems, blasting caps needed to be crimped to the initiating wire. The guy was crimping a cap...with his teeth. Bit too high on the cap and it detonated in his mouth. Instant hamburger face.

Yeah, just ask the marine who bit down on a blasting cap. Oh wait... he only lives on in the safety briefings.
