Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was attempting to repair a golf cart that would not start. He apparently took out the spark plug and turned the ignition key to see if he had any spark. Gasoline came out of the spark plug hole in the cylinder head and sprayed him. The spark from the plug probably caused the explosion and the fire that killed Employee #1.
