Ouch, ouch and ouch.

Guilty of sweeping my bench with my hand. Not gonna do that again.
Haven't torched with non cotton clothes yet, always long pants and always closed shoes. I tried to rewarm a bead out of the kiln the last time I torched and it kinda exploded - almost in my face (there's another good reason to never torch without glasses).

But my worst burn so far was from stepping onto the handle of a pot of hot coffee (metal pot still on lit burner) when I was 5 (on the floor of a boat). The worst burn in my family was also from liquid, when my Mom was making juice in a steam juicer and my baby brother pulled the hose off. It took 6 months for the worst part to stop bleeding and he has a scar from the front of his forearm to the back of his shoulder. He's still my "baby brother" though he's 42 now (and a rather successful mechanical engineer, married with 3 kids - obviously the scar doesn't scare his wife).
