that is a very odd problem, glad to see that you made it through it allright though
i witnessed a similar problem one time when i took a tire from my explorer to get a hole plugged. there was a large plate glass window behind the waiting room to where you could see what was going on in the work bay's. the people had just lifted a honda up to change the oil, and someone walked underneath the car and reached up to release the filter... next thing i know the whole engine compartment of the honda was engulfed in flames!! it was weird to see, but they got the fire under control in a reasonable amount of time. guess that is js tone of those weird freak accidents that can happen due to a design flaw <_<
