Nice clip! Nylon undies? They'll have to come off...
The petrol pump example isn't quite the same though, is it? The spark there was into a mixture of highly flammable vapour and air. Any spark (if one could be generated) in an O2-laden DS will be in a mixture of O2 and damp solid.
I tried jabbing a lit spill at an old pair of socks in a bag full of O2 (the things I do for RBW!) On the second jab, flames leapt across the fibres sticking out from the material and then went out - there wasn't enough energy to burn the socks. (Yes, they were clean!) Will try doing the same with electrical ignition! Mwuhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It would be interesting to know just how many dives you have on pure 02 suit inflation and to what depth…..and why? When Air or Nitrogen for that matter is just as “good” in molecular size.
When we test materials in oxygen under pressure to see the reaction we do the same test 20 times before increasing either the pressure or temperature or both. 1 fire in 20 tests is interesting, 3 fires in 20 and were thinking, 13 fires in 20 test time to choose another material but I never considered the luck of the Irish. How many dives was that again Barry? lol
Static discharge is the biggest risk IMHO. Remember when girls wore those fluffy nylon tops and the hairs on your arms tingled when you got a hand up. At the time I would have thought she was hot! As the video enclosed shows….. I was right.
(Yes, agreed I would have moved the car first too)
