WHITLEY COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) A maintenance worker at Corbin High School filed a lawsuit against Corbin Independent Schools claiming that a prank involving a toilet and an improvised explosive device (IED) caused serious burns, cuts, and bruises to his genital area.

Daniel C. Rice filed the lawsuit in October for the prank that occurred July 13. Rice named co-workers Duane Logan, Mark Logan, Finley Thomas, and Corbin Independent School District as co-defendants.

According to court records, Rice claims that his three co-workers planted the IED, fueled by multiple firecrackers, in the toilet at the maintenance building. The IED was designed to set off after Rice sat down on the toilet seat.

The IED exploded as intended, leaving Rice seriously burned, cut, and bruised, especially in his genital area. It is stated that because of his sudden shock, Rice might have also suffered a heart attack.

When Rice cried out for help, his three co-workers laughed, ridiculed, and humiliated him. They all refused to provide any care or first aid for Rice.

As a result of his injuries, Rice is currently unable to return to work. The school district threatened to terminate his medical insurance coverage unless he returned to work by October 18, 2021.

Rice is seeking an award of all compensatory monetary relief for damages, including punitive damages, reinstatement of his previous position before he was wrongfully discharged with interest on all pay and entitlements due to him, and the right to a jury trial.

Seriously, if someone pulls a stunt like that on me, they'd better kill me. Otherwise, I'm going on a Kill Bill-style revenge mission.

could an 'exploding toilet' prank go any way but horribly wrong?
It's one of those phrases like 'love triangle'. You just expect something bad afterwards.

Idk what's wrong with people in thinking certain "pranks" are funny. That's not a prank.

There was probably shrapnel and other massively infectious stuff up the wazoo, 4 months might not even be close to enough.

So, did they get arrested and fired?

Even ignoring that, there's more than a few nerves there that if you mess up can basically make it so you can't walk very far before needing a break because of the immense discomfort.

By all means, the coworkers should be criminally charged for this.

Let's set off an explosion beneath your ass and see how long healing takes.

You're focusing on the wrong thing here btw. The infliction of harm, apparent protection of the perpetrators and threatening the victim's benefits is the problem, not the guy's healing process.

Jesus, no wonder Trump got elected.
