OK, this one comes pretty close also:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the
kitchen.  While sitting on the bike and racing the engine, the motorcycle
accidentally slipped into gear.  The man, still holding onto the handlebars,
was dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors.  His wife,
hearing the crash, ran into the room to find her husband cut and bleeding,
the motorcycle, and the shattered patio door.  She called for an ambulance
and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down the several
flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to her husband.

While attendants were loading her husband, the wife managed to right the
motorcycle and push it outside.  She also quickly blotted up the spilled
gasoline with some paper towels and tossed them into the toilet.

After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the
shattered patio door and damage done to his motorcycle.  He went into the
bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to his
business.  About to stand, he flipped the cigarette butt between his legs.
The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband
screaming.  Finding him lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers blown
away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again phoned for an
ambulance.

The same paramedic crew was dispatched.  As the paramedics carried the man
down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn
himself.  She told them.  They started laughing so hard, one slipped,
tipping the stretcher and dumping the husband out.  He fell down the
remaining stairs, breaking his arm.
