After checking the pics of how he was extricated I think we can explain
the "spinal injuries."

wrong call. they were from the impact.
I spoke to him tonight in hospital.

That was meant to be "tongue in cheek" I just forgot the smiley.

Hope he recovers quickly.

he is in amazingly good spirits.
burns arent too bad externally.
lung damage a problem.
spinal injuries likely to have permanent effect unfortunately.

amazingly he says that that is the only time in his entire life he has
seen a fire extinguisher actually extinguish a fire.
