Investigation Summary
An employer and Employee #1 were modifying a motorcycle by installing a nitrous oxide system. When nitrous oxide is added to the air and fuel mixture, it increases the motorcycle's power and acceleration. During the installation, an explosion of the fuel, air, and nitrous oxide mixture occurred in the carburetors, which blew back into the plastic mixing chamber. The chamber blew up, causing numerous facial lacerations and burns to Employee #1, who was hospitalized.
