Now I am going to tell you how I ended up i an hospital because of one substance.
Nilered: b extremely careful chemistry fans! Always follow procedure! Explosions&fire: b pretty careful. Respect chemicals, I guess. Thousoi: ANGLE GRINDER THE EXPLOSIVES
Too true! Lol!
angle grinder is very dangerous, its not the fault of the chemistry.
I'm more surprised Backyard Scientist hasn't died yet 😐
@@monad_tcp Angle grinders are tools, tools are only dangerous when misused
Russian moment
I'm so glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been, I hope you heal quickly.
Those gloves likely prevented 3rd degree burns. Second degree hurts like hell but they will often heal just fine
@@erikawanner7355 yes, any think less than 3, are mostly already head skin, he was very lucky, could of been a lot more worse,
Yeaa I hope he'll be fine soon
There's something charming about hearing him say _"an airy delicacy"._ He could easily have kept the news of his mishap and injury to himself, but he shared the experience. That takes integrity.
Not really it's basically a free video 😂
@@bigsteve6729 plenty of people would rather not broadcast their mistakes to tens of thousands of people
Chemistry by its very nature is dangerous, unfortunately.
Coward.
@@redit5332 There's a world of difference between knowing the risks of a lab, and cutting into an airbag with an angle grinder. One of those is really, really stupid on the surface.
Be well, buddy. I've a few minor scars but no lasting disfigurement from "don't do this at home" experiments. I was born in 1949 and with the advent of Sputnik and space exploration, chemistry sets and household chemicals led to some interesting mixtures from age nine on. The US Army even published a pamphlet on building your own rocket's. The aluminum tubing for lawn furniture is not suitable for rocket bodies!
Whoops!!
"The aluminum tubing for lawn furniture is not suitable for rocket bodies!" Neither, I might add, are tin cans...
1955 here, female...dad bought me my first chem set when i was 6 & i took over my grandmothers attic..lived out in the country, farming community, & by age 9 i was fixing toasters & radios by raiding neighbors nearby personal junk yards, tearing them apart & rebuilding them, lamps by age 10...also..i noted paper towel rolls do not make great rockets either despite the store bought rockets looks (my true love is DNA Research)
sounds like a challenge to me :)
@@NuLiForm nobody cares if you are male or female, putting it in comments is lame. It doesn't matter on the internet when we are all anonymous avatars. It should be about what you say not who you are.
All the best to you. Stay safe and thank you for showing us how dangerous some stuff is.
I had an accident about 2.5 years ago where I had 2nd and 3rd degree burns to 60% of my right hand. So I feel your pain. I hope that your wounds heal up to 100% soon and that you don't have anymore accidents in the future. Stay safe, friend.
I just posted pics of my burns in the community section of my channel for those who want to see it. Be warned though, it is far, far worse than his burns....
@@BackYardScience2000 Were your buns caused by the airbag? I'm not trying to be funny, I'm trying to start a movement to get airbags outlawed. They are the most dangerous thing inside a vehicle.
@@BackYardScience2000 daaamn dude! I’m hurting for you with those pics!
That's right after we made each others acquaintance. When I didn't hear from you for a while, I had bad thoughts. I'd still like to see more cannon videos! I hope you're well, friend.
@@eric_d "movement to get airbags outlawed" Say what now?
Not only is this channel one of the most educational on KZhead but the voice over is absolutely entertaining! I love it!
😂😂😂😂😂
Oh dear, no need to push safety for our sakes. Your videos are great as they are, stay safe!
The vid where he burnt a table and said I'll get another got me hooked. Look after yourself health > money anytime
Get well soon brother!
Bloody hell, this video should be shown to anyone thinking about messing around with airbags! Good job you had projection on, how many times do I use an angle grinder in shorts and flip-flops!
Please don't do that lol. Angle grinders are notoriously dangerous even with protection, but wearing some shorts, all it would take is a little slip to wind up with your femoral artery torn up. I'm no doctor, but I'm going to guess you'd have a pretty poor prognosis at that point given it would be anything but a clean slice.
Thanks so much for the episode, get well soon. Already wait for the next one 👍🏻
I also experienced the same thing as you .. very similar ... felt hot on the face, hands became numb, ears became deaf for a while and chest was pounding. fortunately I wear safety goggles and thick leather gloves ... greetings from Malaysia
You are wonderful instructor, thank you!
Glad to see you're better. I always enjoyed your content and found it highly educational. Please be careful, I want to enjoy your future content as long as possible.
Very important to show consequences of not following safety procedures! Thank you for posting this.
I'm glad that you survived with only smaller surface injuries. Get well soon!
Thank you for not being biased. Only a true scientist can express as well as learn from his many mistakes. You are awesome Brother. Safety, Is our #1 priority!! Cheers, hope you are feeling 100%
Thanks for sharing, accidents happen, by sharing you'll stop a lot more of them from happening as well. Hope you heal up soon!
Accidents don't happen, they are caused. Mostly by people who do not know what they are doing and missing precautions. I used to work very carelessly with caustic agents, but I always had a lot of respect concerning explosive materials. And, of course, I always wore a lab coat and safety glasses. And gloves if necessary.
I understood the shit when I saw the angle grinder 😭😭😭😭 Thoisoi you help me understand chemistry like never before so please stay alive longer than me
Oh dear! I am glad no worse damage happened and please don't cross that line again.
I love this channel so much. Keep posting this kind of cool chemical reactions.. And also love Russia ❤️
Fantastic content as always, stay safe and plan activities well. Thankyou for your channel. Wishing you a fast recovery 👍
I am happy to see you are ok, a hand burn is bad. Losing your eyesight would be devastating. Keep up the good work, and take care of yourself, safety first.
Really glad nothing worse happened. I hope your hand heals soon
Well glad you made it I greatly appreciate the safety info you put out there I'm sure your tips have saved me from injury over the years we'll get well my friend 👍
Thank you for sharing your story! I've taken car air bag charges apart before (on my lathe with a cutoff tool) and haven't had any issues but seeing your accident is a needed reminder of what can happen.
Ah I was wondering how to do it, thanks for the tip!!
Man I wish I had access to a lathe when I did this. I used a hack saw specifically because I didnt want to create any sparks or heat. Took me like 4 hours of painfully slow cutting. Still have some azide sealed up and put away.
oh my gosh I am so thankful you didn't get hurt more seriously. Thank you for sharing your experience with us instead of just sweeping it under the rug. There is always information to be learned even from mistakes. We are glad you are healing now.
I hope you get well soon. Keep up the good work, I learn a lot from your videos.
Glad you shared that story. Yea my dad used to work for a company that tested the pyrotechnics in Airbags and they are no joke. Glad your okay my friend.
Dude I'm glad you're ok. I like your content. Hoping you heal fast. Stay safe. I can't imagine the pain that was I'm crying when burn my hand with a match.
Thank goodness you are in great shape . I learned a very valuable lesson from your incident. Thank you immensely for choosing to show this. You may well have saved a few very curious folks like myself from disaster.
I hope you recover soon man. Thank you for sharing the wonders of chemistry and the safety concerns to treat it with respect.
Glad you are safe, aside for the wound. Thanks for your sacrifice but be careful we need you in one happy piece
I'm glad you're still with us! Stay safe!
You should have had it all on video. That would go viral with millions of views. And you survived. Your my hero 😎
Glad to hear you're on the mend. God I love this channel!
Glad you're doing well hope you heal quickly
Awsome episode! Please heal quickly!
I am SOOOO GRATEFUL that you were not injured more! I NEVER would have guess that you of all people would be that careless. I hope you learned your lesson and you ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT SAFETY IS NUMBER 1!! WOW!!! You were lucky though... that could have been WAY WORSE!!! ESPECIALLY because of it's toxicity!!! THANK GOD you were not injured more, it could have exploded and metal pieces could have cut your neck!!! Abd THEN WHERE would I learn about all the amazing chemistry wonders that you continue to teach me and the world?! PLEASE don't be so careless anymore. You have friends and family that love you and would be devastated if anything serious were to happen to you. You are a VERY SMART MAN, so USE THOSE SMARTS TO TAKE CAUTION!!! :) I really am glad you're okay tho, your hand looks like it really hurts. I've had a couple of really bad burns, but never one so big and not on the palm of my hand. Just remember to keep your hand active so your skin doesn't get too tight as it heals. I hope you feel ALL better very soon! :)
Thank God you are ok. It is good you follow the safety procedures.
Thank You Very Much For Sare ! I Hope Your Healing ! Please Be Careful!😇🙏
Glad your going to be good. Always look forward to see your videos.
Glad you are able to heal back!
Wow! Thank God you are safe! The way you had the cartridge clamped in a vise could have made the experience deadly, I am glad you escaped with only burns and pressure effects! Be safe! And keep up the experiments!
your amazing! thank you so much for all your hard work
I'm somewhat surprised that such an intelligent person would cut into an airbag with an angle grinder! 🤣👍❤️😎
I'm quite confident that his first thought after it went off wasn't "AUCH", but "IDIOT".
First thought was fuck, i just blew my hands off... next thought... OUCH, next thought... i need to change my drawers... 😁
I had a lapse in judgement with a chemistry experiment 25 years ago... I pick up 26 stitches in my left hand, some random scars, and a whole lot of glass in my left hand. It's ok now, but at the time it really sucked. Glad you did this video to remind everyone, even the seasoned chemists, that accidents happen and that you should ALWAYS take a second look at doing something even if you have done it many times. Complacency will kill or maim you.
Just curious, do you remember what you were doing?
@@ossiehalvorson7702 yep. I can still see everything from that afternoon.
Glad you are ok, your close call is a lesson to us all. Get better soon
Glad to See you are Still Alive!! Edit: Dubbing your Own Voice Overs is Badass! Keep on Sciencing and Keep Safe!! Somewhat Safe hehe
I love your videos, thank you for what you do!
Love this stuff. It’s amazing how this all works
So glad you were not injured further. Stay safe friend, we enjoy your videos and want to see them for many more years. BTW, nitrous oxide is being phased out for use in general anesthesia. A mixture of air and inhalation anesthetic agents are supplanting N2O. Thanks for the informative video!
I'm very happy that you weren't hurt even worse than you were. I've had a similar accident in the lab with silver fulminate. It only detonated because I was being complacent and accidentally let a spark fly over and land on a small pile of the compound. Thank you for the video!
LP shirt looks great. Miss Chester! RIP
Oh wow. I'm so glad you weren't severely injured. You are an amazing chemist, and i enjoy your demonstration videos a lot.
Sorry to hear that accident, glad you are okay. 👏 Kudos You have got a great channel and shared significant knowledge for all of us. Curiosity can sometimes cause trouble 😅
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Glad you survived and are making a full recovery.
I'm so sorry man. My grandmother had a rare reaction to this cleaning solution super badly and one time a team of nurses forgot about her terrible reaction to the reddish solution and put it on her when she was under sedation and in sensitive areas of the body/groin/thigh region and she had to get week long treatment to help her heal from the burns she got from the solution that they normally use on everyone but a few rare people react really terribly to it and get a super painful burn and rash/sore.. it seems terrible...
I couple things to mention about chlorates. Beck in the 70's in America. Sodium Chlorate O2 generators was used in pellet form to produce oxygen for a simple cheap welding torch. Sold under the name as SolidOx it was sold in dept and hardware stores. Some chlorate compounds can be highly dangerous if not ph buffered properly as they are hygroscopic and will form chloric acid which is highly unstable around reducing agents.
Take care, man!! I hope your recovery is coming along fine. Please stay safe.
I recall in tech school replacing an entire steering wheel.. well airbags even when undeployed are not legally able to be reused.. So we decided to take it, a car battery and wire out into an empty area of the parking lot.. where were set it on the ground face down and activated it.. For the entire assembly weighing about 3-4 lbs. It still launched like 40 feet into the air.. Needless to say they can be quite dangerous
get better soon! glad it was not too bad and that even the professionals like you can make mistakes and please keep up the videos they are some of the top ones on youtube
Learned my lesson with sodium hydroxide. Got lazy and sloppy and learned quickly how fast I could make soap on the fly. Got REAL lucky and only lost an outer layer of epidermis. Taught me to quit mucking about. Thank God your ok. Please be safe brother.
One of your best videos. Thank you very much!
Take care! Thanks for the content
Turns a burger into a rocket engine "Do not try this at home"
I hope you're feeling ok man get well soon
All post-2001 commercial automotive airbags are supposed to have a label on the back that says "NON SERVICEABLE" & "DO NOT DISASSEMBLE" or similar warnings; the warnings are there for a reason. Airbags can & do occasionally cause burns (due to propellant) to passengers in the event of an accident. Takata airbags in particular had a caused a number of burns, including the airbags deploying prematurely, which involved a serious scandal and in turn a massive recall for airbags made in 2013-present.
Thank you for your time and efforts making videos you do not need to but you share a lot of valuable knowledge i believe should be taught commonly and hope one day it will be. I hope you keep on and remember, we will always appreciate you
Stay safe Thoisoi2, follow safety procedures. Get well soon Brother 😊
Sawing through a LIVE gas generator is the most Russian thing I've seen this year. Your move @KREOSAN 😂 Seriously though, I'm glad you are alive and healing. Don't risk too much life for KZhead.
Hope you're okay now. Sorry to hear this happened to you. Please, stay safe!
In my local venacular "yir ah dafty". You saw the line, you eyeballed it for a bit, then you crossed it, like a dafty! The only good point is you survived reasonable intact. Now you have a constant reminder to behave yourself in the future. Oh, and don't do it for us, we don't get any pleasure seeing you hurt and damaged. Stay safe, happy healing.
I am very glad you are healing
I hope your hand gets better soon. Take care
I wondered why the pause in your videos, hope you get better soon bud. Could you do an experiment on why dry chlorine and brake fluid reacts so violently?
Ouch! Hope you heal quickly. I love your videos. I've always had an interest in chemistry since I was a kid. Would it be possible to sync your sound track to your voice?
Glad you're safe 🙏 ❤️
When I was a kid, some ‘friends’ found an unignited fireworks shell that the fuse failed to explode it on the way up from the mortar. A hacksaw, magnifying glass and the noon day sun were brought together on our driveway. It was a brilliant crimson red mine.. that completely singed my blonde hair and pale white skin. Imagine “oooh-- ahhh” sounds from the neighbours but at ground level. Mom was not impressed. I never did anything quite as stupid again and learned a good lesson about thinking ahead and thinking things through. Ultimately studied chemistry and retired as an anesthesiologist… all fingers and toes intact!
Reminds me of when I was about six years old and went to a civil war re. with my neighbor and mom. While walking around the civil war re. I happened to find an unused black powder cartridge and stuffed it in my pocket before any of the adults saw it. Took this home and dumped it into some tin foil and cut a small piece of a yo-yo string and took it to the sand in my playground out in the backyard and proceeded to light the fuse. It didn't work, it just smoldered at the tip. So I pulled out the fuse and stuck the smoldering tip into the tin foil ball with a full charge of black powder, the second it touched the powder, it went boom. I burned my hand badly and had to go to the hospital to get it looked at, but don't have any scars.
Wish you fast recovery
Glad to hear you're okay!
literally one of the smartest people ive ever seen. remember guys always think twice, even a pro makes mistakes when they get excited
This is a good video on why all safety precautions need to be followed. It is good that his hand is recovering from the burns and that nothing worse happened.
Thanks for sharing this video. I hope you make a full recovery... angle grinder as well... phew, you got off lightly considering what you were working with. Ouch, Get well soon x
Safety precautions written in blood... I haven't heard that, or similar, for a while. Thanks for the reminder. Glad you've mostly recovered and have no major permanent injuries. 🙂
остаться в живых! Love your Videos and stay alive to show us more of your beautiful content! Greets from Germany
OMG wow man so glad you didn't kill or hurt yourself worse. Thank you for sharing this with us. Hopefully this helps to inform someone considering opening one. Glad you are ok
Glad you're OK!!
Thank-you for the valuable information
Hope you heal up soon
Wish u fast recovery
I'm so glad that you're okay!
I think the theory in the kursk film was that they were in the engine room or something and fuel and oil leaked into the compartment due to the damage. So when the co2 scrubber fell in the water it ignited the oil. I'm pretty sure this is one of the theories as to what killed the crew in real life too, but I might be wrong
DK: Yes, that is correct. In the US navy we used similar chemical packs to generate oxygen for our firefighting masks. We exercised extreme caution to keep the packs away from oil or oily water in the bilges to prevent explosions.
You are very luck it was not worse ! Stay safe and heal fast !
So glad it wasn't that bad, take good care!! Anyhow, so great video!!! Very educative!!! What a research!! So interesting!!!
I'm glad you still have your hand. OMG.. 😳 Many people wouldn't show that out of embarrassment. That was probably the most important part to the video. Thank you for the time and bravery in the name of science.
Very educational video. U are an amazing guy. God bless.
I can relate a lot. About two weeks ago, I was involved in an accident where my hand was splashed with a boiling hot solution that contained lots of NaOH. I went to the hospital and I have a severe second degree burn. A chunk of skin about the size of a egg is completely missing from my hand.
