    Well, now this is on my list of invisible things that scare me:

    • Radiation
    • Methanol fires
    • Supercritical steam jets

      Not quite invisible but you could also splash and wade into a pool of strong acid thinking it was water, during what first seemed like a somewhat routine FUBAR maintenance situation…filling your boots etc.

        Definitely dangerous, but I’m less scared of that one. I’ve got detectors for that, and that’s more of a “go peacefully in your sleep” kind of danger.

      The regular ones will kill you as well. Boiling water on a stove is nothing compared to steam under pressure.
