Darwin says, "He sure learned a lesson in that class."
back in 2003 i was attending jack m dabbs vocational school along with a number of my friends, my friend in question was trainging to become a welder. well one day at the end of class as we were getting ready to get back on the bus and head back to our respective high schools we noticed an ambulace out in front of the welding shop. after inquiring as to what happened from one of the instructors i was informed of the following. my friend had been on his feet welding and cutting for the better part of an hour and decided to pull up a chair, with his lap under the table that he was cutting the metal with an a torch on and wearing full protective gear mask gloves and apron, he apparently cut a little to deep and the slag (dropps of molten steal)started to fall through the table. now the apron was light and only ment to stop sparks and the such and not slag which in this case was sitting on the apron not just glancing off. well the slag burnned through the apron then through his jeans and boxers the rest of wich i will leave to your imaginations but sparing the screaming bloody flesh melting details he is officialy out of the gene pool

Thanks for the story. Having used a welder and a cutting torch I can imagine the scene quite well.

OUCH! I've managed to drip molten solder on my hands and arms, but I can't imagine what molten slag on your privates would feel like. Thanks for sharing this with us.
