Kyle Smith’s Blooming Onions
Carroll College defensive tackle Kyle Smith (pictured on the right) tried to make some homemade blooming onions, the Outback Steakhouse treat. While holding an oil-filled pot, he slipped and fell, resulting in major burns from the scalding-hot oil. Smith burned 20 percent of his body, undergoing “skin graft surgery, with doctors taking skin from his thighs to replace the skin he lost on his feet, toes, shins and calves.”
