I was smoking outside an off campus dorm last night. I had one of my 3Kings shatter and shoot embers all over a guy sitting next to my hookah. The guy also had his own hookah out, and not even five minutes later one of his Goldens partially shattered and fell on the ground. I thought it was hilarious.

I've also dropped coals on the carpet in my friend's room before. They were little pieces though, and not whole ones. His carpet is black and gray, though, so it's not noticeable unless you know where to feel for it.

we'd just bought a new couch and loveseat about 3 weeks before. I was smoking my 34" hookah, drinking a beer, watching a race, and my hose got snagged and the hookah came falling towrds me as im sitting on the couch. Hit me in the chest and the windscreen, bowl and coals went over my sholder. My wife starts yelling and I'm franticly looking for the coals. Turns out the coals and head were still in the cover and i scooped the whole thing up and ran to the kitchen. No burns so i'm here to tell the story. Now if i smoke inside i have to sit on a chair with a special rug under it...

Then there is the piece of coal i missed at a party that went straight though the lenolium top of the counter and into the pressed wood.

i never once dropped a coal the whole time i smoked outside. the minute my buddy got an apartment where we could smoke inside, i started dropping them all over! he got about 3 pretty good sized burns on his carpet thanks to me.

now he stole a construction sign to put under the hookah, so whenever we smoke, we're "Men At Work" Edited by garykainz

After years of a perfect record, I was recently caught in the recent wave of accidents. I use a 18" x 24" piece of wood from my entertainment center under my base, and up until last week, it has caught all lit coals. But after last week, I now have a 3/4" by 2" hole burned almost through my carpet. Oh well, the carpet wasn't new when I moved in, and I'm planning on staying long enough that it will be due for replacement when I move out, so I think my security deposit is safe...
