A friend of mine had all of his skin literally peeled from his head when a high pressure steam pipe he was working on ruptured.
Ten feet in front of me.
He laid on the deck for a few seconds and then - when we thought he was dead - he sat up. Scariest fuckin thing I've ever seen. The thing I remember the most was the engineering officer holding us back saying "Don't touch him - there's nothing you can do" even when we saw him moving. The corpsmen were on him almost immediately. He lived for four agonizing hours after they got him to the Naval hospital. That was eleven years ago and I still have nightmares about it.
The video with the guy getting his throat cut is diabolocal, but what really bothers me is that when I watched it for the first time, my only thought was "I've seen worse".
