    Blech, I’ve heard stories in my industrial automation days of people being clipped by invisible high pressure steam leaks. No frickin thank you, regular stovetop steam jacks me up frequently enough.

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

      • Radiation
      • Methanol fires
      • Supercritical steam jets
