Does it make me a bad person if I LOL at that? :laugh:

You never worked in a kitchen I guess. This is not funny since it happens quite a bit.
It's a commercial produced by the worker safety insurance board trying to cut down on accidents, thus lower payouts.

She was carrying that all wrong though, we always carried those types of things much lower and kept our legs further apart to minimize the damage should a fall occur, which did happen relatively often.

Only nano-gecko floors will prevent those types of accidents. There is no way to have a non-slip industrial kitchen floor; the grease simply permeates them, and eventually they are permanently Teflon.

Sticking your face in a fryer would suck. There is a guy who committed suicide cutting himself in half by laying on the feed table of a band saw and hitting the start button.

Why the question?

Maybe someone will set up a "bobbing for french fries" game for Halloween and we'll find out the answer.

He screamed bloody murder and we took him to the hospital, but after they cut off the oil-soaked pants from his leg, it looked like a messed up piece of cooked meat and I doubt it ever got much better.

So to answer the question in the OP, no.

what a motherf'in moron. My leg hurts just from reading that.

in HS, we had a physics experiment that demonstrated you could dip your finger into molten lead(very quickly) without burning yourself if you had a small barrier of water between you and the lead.

it was really cool.

Did he cut himself lengthwise or widthwise?

In HS, we lit our hands on fire in chemistry. First, you dip your hand in water, then pick up some methane bubbles and ignite them. The water on the surface of your skin keeps you from getting burned.

You'd be surprised how much of a difference it is. As long as you wash the soles out before/after a shift, you won't slip on even the greasiest floors.
