Aussie sizzles to death
March 1995 Perth, Australia - A technician of Perth, Australia died after performing a standard and easy geology technique of dissolving minerals. While doing this he spilled hydrofluoric acid onto his lap. But all was well, accidents like this are easily prevented by protective uniform! That’s true, unfortunately for this man he was too cool for it.
In fact he didn’t wear full length PVC coveralls with sleeves to the wrist or a full-length PVC apron with sleeve protectors, a face shield, rubber boots, mid-arm length PVC gloves or even safety goggles! He frantically washed himself down with a hose, then jumped into his pool until the ambulance arrived. After being treated his leg was amputated until he finally succumbed.
I’m excited for the new food at the supermarket! Idiot sizzling sausage, expiration date: November 1995
