Can you imagine? Iron boils at over five thousand degrees F. Anyway yes, having the molten, totally not boiling steel poured over you is not going to be fun and you are not floating on anything except maybe the clouds of steam vaporizing out of the part of you in contact with the floor.

The only time people generally think of matter changing states is water (freezing or boiling) so even if the terminology isn't correct they're getting the message across that this is liquid metal at an insanely hot temperature.

CampingCarl posted:I would guess you would be unconscious for most of that time. Hopefully anyway. Early in my career, there was one instance where both emergency response and the press reported the lie that "he died instantly" just for the sake of the surviving family. I've always been hesitant of accepting that or similar ever since. If you're a first responder in a really nasty case, are you supposed to say anything different if a guy has young kids? That's a hosed up situation to be in.

Similarly, you almost never actually see "boiling oil", as oil starts breaking down and smoking before it gets to its boiling point. The bubbles you see in a deep fryer come from the water in the food.

Someone with proper trauma counselling training should take care of those details. If it happens that you come into contact with the family just offer your condolences and refer upwards. This being said, yeah, some details should be skipped. The nursing thread has a particular gem about this: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3469571&pagenumber=48&perpage=40#post427104383 The nursing thread is chock full of OSHA, but it'll rip your soul out of you.

Regardless, he survived, got the zinc removed from his teeth, throat and probably stomach, and recovered.

There were some pretty rough-and-ready guys who were a bit shook up. I need to get a "50+% BURN/ARC -> DNR" tattooed on my chest or something. (Probably wouldn't be valid anyways.) . I got into a chat with someone about some of the stuff I've worked on. "It's fed by 7200V." "Well, if you touched that by accident, at least you'd die quick and painless!" "Actually you'd be in... ... ...yes, you're right. I'm sure you're right, it wouldn't hurt a bit." (This was, depending on the circumstances, a big lie.)

I had to watch him talk last month. thats the one. had to watch it too. Guy pulled a screen thingie from a pipe at a petroleum plant, it shot up and doused him. He had to run for it before the vapour cloud reached his truck and wasn't fast enough. My workplace is pretty stringent on saftey and fires people all the time over it which makes sense at a sawmill. I actually have some OC from when I got tomahawked in the jaw by an unedged 2x6 but its super grainy. you can at least see my helmet go flying, I'll see if it posts from my phone... edit: drat in MMS form, going to take some  to get it off of there

chitoryu12 posted:I'd be a bit questioning of that. This website lists amusement park and theme park accidents and has a full list of 2011 to 2013 accidents at major theme parks. Islands of Adventure alone had 69 significant injuries, most of which were caused by rides. Dragon Challenge caused 7 blackouts, 4 neck injuries, and 15 losses of feeling in legs. The Incredible Hulk caused 13 neck injuries and 4 back injuries that same year. This is obviously a small fraction of the total number of riders, but plenty of people are able to get hurt on these rides through no fault of their own. good god man, how do you get out of bed in the morning?
