[QUOTE=K. McEuen;96021If any of you have seen polyester clothing catch fire and/or melt when someone was wearing it, you'd never go near the stuff. It's pretty scary. I ripped a shirt off someone that was standing in front of a wall heater and the whole back was in flames and melting. Other than the fact that I almost chocked him because I pulled from the back, he was lucky that none of the melted fabric stuck to his skin.[/QUOTE]

Karen, this happened to my brother. He was leaning up against a counter and there was a candle burning. He got too close to the flame without realising it and the shirt caught fire in micro seconds. He did burn his arm a bit so thankfully he was quick enough to extinguishing it before causing any serious damage to his skin.
