Can we not keep sharing the link to the racist bigotry channel?

Agreed, I've deleted my link in reply #46.

@Monkeh: You quoted my post, you might want to do the same.

While I agree with all of the previous warnings against high pressure oxygen (which have possibly been understated), I want to add that any really high pressure gas or fluid has serious dangers quite aside from any chemistry involved.  Gases usually more so because leaks don't cause the pressure to drop rapidly as it does with relatively uncompressible fluids.

Small leaks can inject gas through the skin centimeters or more from the leak.  A careless assembly or disassembly can launch parts like a cannon.  And broken gas lines become high speed cutting snakes whipping around at unbelievable velocities. 

Any time you concentrate energy it opens up many chances for it to get away in unplanned ways, and those almost always turn out to be dangerous.  And while you can say they aren't that dangerous because you or someone you are aware of has survived one of these situations, that is akin to saying Russian roulette isn't very dangerous.  It is true that you have to play Russian roulette multiple times before your odds of dying are truly high, but most sane folk consider even one trial too risky.

I read through this thread, and all I can say is WTAF.  :o :o :o  :palm:

Anyone who doesn't "get" how serious this can be should google "degloving injury" and look at the pictures. Don't do it within two hours of a meal, either before or after, unless you're the kind of person who can happily sit through lunch with a bunch of nurses discussing a particularly messy "day at the office". Degloving injuries are at the 'nice' end of what can go wrong when high pressure gas or fluid encounters soft, yielding flesh.
