Newsobserver.com reports that in Lake Wylie South Carolina, a man escaped his tanning bed before he and the bed went up in flames!

The man who escaped declined to give his name but said he was working on his tan when he heard a popping noise, then saw a flame at the corner of the tanning bed near his foot. He threw open the lid and jumped out, he said.”

This tanning salon and the majority of this Lake Wylie shopping center was evacuated and the fire damaged several stores Monday, authorities said. When firefighters arrived around 4:15 p.m. “smoke was pouring out of all sides of the building,” said Bethel Assistant Fire Chief David Long. By 5:30 p.m. the fire was out and smoke cleared.

OMG! Would you ever go tanning again??? Maybe if you were in the tanning bed with Christian Bale right…
