On July 24, 2009 Blake Robinson
experienced a life changing
accident. An explosion in his shop
of a 10 lb. nitrous bottle landed
him in the hospital for
a month in a half stay. He went
through almost a dozen surgeries
on his left leg ( which is now
amputated above the knee ), his
lower right leg, and his left arm
(which he is now learning to reuse
due to severe ulnar nerve damage)
We will post several links to news
articles below, but disagree with
their speculation of what happened
that day. Blake, Christina ( his
girlfriend ), and Chris, were in the
shop doing work on a transmission
that afternoon. The freak accident
of the nitrous bottle blowing up is
under a DOT investigation. The
bottle came from a car Blake
purchased in August of 2008 and
was removed from the car and
never used. The bottle looked new
and had an electric bottle heater
on it. We would have never thought
that an accident like this would
ever have happened, but it did. We
are just thankful that the accident
did not harm anyone else and that
Blake is still with us.
