Here is a YouTube video where a guy brings a big bowl of liquid nitrogen to a swimming pool and throws it in, thus forming a cool mist and maybe a very temporary layer of thin ice on the surface. Then a girl jumps in. Can you spot the dangerous part of this stunt?
No, it’s not the girl jumping in, which is what everyone around the pool was worried about. In that much (probably warm) water, the temp would have been back to safe levels after just a few seconds. Sure, the water was cold, but (crazy) people jump into freezing water all the time. The REAL daredevil in this thing is the guy who brought in the open bowl of nitrogen. It will freeze your skin on contact, and he’s carrying it around in a salad-bowl sized container which is filled to the brim. He’s wearing sandals, a t-shirt, his arms are bare and he has nothing really protective on anywhere. If he’d tripped it could have disfigured him, although his glasses would have saved him from eye damage.
Who has the capacity to obtain liquid nitrogen but can’t be bothered to get a practical container? Nobody would behave this way with corrosive acid, even though both can be equally dangerous to unprotected skin.
UPDATE: My questions about the sandals are answered below, where I also learn that this movie was filmed at Penguicon.
