For anyone that wants to know, the leidenfrost effect is why it doesn't actually touch his skin.

instructions unclear, got forth degree frostbite, and am now an amputee.

The Leidenfrost effect! Very cool! For those that dont know what that is, its when the liquid has a "bubble" of gas around it, keeping it from making direct contact with the object. For a way to see this at home, put a few drops of water in a very hot pan and watch as the drops scatter around super fast before evaporating.

Liquid nitrozen: im the coldest thing😏
Water in a winter morning:are you sure😂

Science teachers are freaking out right now seeing that he's not wearing safety goggles.

Bro really dipped his sausage in liquid nitrogen, that's some real dedication

[googoogagaimmabitch]

my heart legit skipped a beat when he poured it onto his face

My next short began with some dude saying “the dumbest things people have done”

[BfBcemat]

Every morning I wash my face with cold water. *But this dude took it to a whole nother level* 💀

[onionstick]

When he lifted it up I thought he was going to drink it ☠️

[Syahdi.]

so i could theoretically take a shower using liquid nitrogen

[modernprince]

I remember when Grant did a video like this. You're awesome Nate

Kinda like fire. If spontanious, fire can hurt but not damage. Be careful for your eyes there at the end.

One of the biggest things they'll say when training you on lab safety is it's deadly nature if inhaled. A single drop of liquid nitrogen in the lungs is lethal, as it expands to a massive size and basically bursts the lungs. Not perfectly accurate, but that's basically it. So funnily enough the most dangerous thing you could do is splash it in your face... Which he did...

[andym]

Bro I swiped to another short as soon as he splashed it on his face and I didn't get to see it. Now I have to watch the whole thing again.

Fun fact, it is actually more dangerous to wear gloves when handling liquid nitrogen, because it will freeze the glove, which in turn will make your hand freeze a lot faster within the glove, even more so because the glove will probably stick to your skin due to the ice build up.
