hi i dont know if this question is relevant (or sane really) but was sitting here watchin me usual star trek and had me feet on me elec fire and i suddenly my puney brain had realised somet rather dangerious so can trainers catch fire from me elec fire i suppose the scientific question is does rubber combust
It will burn, yeah. Ive melted a helmet in front of an electric fire and my mate set his trainers on fire (spraying lynx on his feet ) and ended up with skin grafts up to his thighs and a zimmer frame!
i dont know if i can laugh at that lynx bit hope he's not hurt lol (giggle) edit: right so ill watch out wiv me feet next time, oh and remember not to let my instincts take over trying to put it out lolz
