Darwin awards

I never watch reality TV, but I just seen a commercial for the TV show "The Island" and they were showing the contestants boiling water in a 5 gal Jerry can. They showed a contestant standing by the can reaching down with a rag turning the cap. As you have probably guessed by now, the cap blew off and boiling water came spewing out. Then some one said "he has third degree burns on his face." Why would they boil water in a closed container, and why did the show not have safety measures in place to prevent this kind of accident?

Too many people these days dont understand heat and pressure. After all, it is only taught in high school so only 99% of people should know it.

Just so I don't come across as a complete d!ck with my posts today, that's horrible about getting burned. Man, burns are the most painful thing and so easy to get infected. I feel for that poor guy.

I guess he got voted off the island?

and nope, he's not the first and he won't be the last to do that.
