that must of hurt a tad , ouch, how is it nowOriginally Posted by neet_wagon
I might have something for this I reckon.
November 2008 I was working night shift in a local Steel foundry, 10minutes before knock off things start to go pretty wrong for me. Pretty sure I said bugger, among other choice words. Spent 3 months in hospital and 13 months off work.
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Run out or a spill when transferring to the ladle? Would have hurt bad been told told a few stories of this happening to guys at work and other foundries a small splash burning through pant and shirts are bad enough let alone getting trapped in your bootI might have something for this I reckon.

Looks pretty similar, just covered in skin grafts now.
It was a run out, we had previously had core boxes shooting out the back of the moulds, so I was off to the side of the mould, right where it decided to run out. Probably wouldn't have been as bad if I had been wearing normal boots, the smelter boots seemed to contain the steel pretty well unfortunately.
Plenty of splash burns from cleaning out ladles, seems to 'bounce' down your skin under your shirt. Always amusing watching someone trying to catch it before it enters their pants
I was amused watching our scrap cutter melt through his apron chaps and crotch of his pants last week, I've super heated my steel cap a few times as a fettler ended up hoping around with the boot off looking for a puddle to cool it in.
Can imagine how bad smelter boots would contain it. If you don't mind who were you working for?
