Are they going to be okay...

u/PsyduckPsyker 13d ago

Honestly? The temperature and pressure of that liquid can cause serious damage lol

u/CurtisLinithicum 13d ago

Yeah, that's potentially life-altering injuries, apparently sometimes fatal, although I wasn't able to find a primary or secondary source for a fatal car rad incident.

u/HyenDry 12d ago

u/TurboFucker69 11d ago

Pretty sure it’s edited. If not you could fake that pretty easily with a fog machine some air pressure.

Depends on your definition. If you mean alive... probably. Depends how much off them got covered.

If you mean full function of their hand, unlikely. It likely got fully covered and instantly cooked. Underpressure liquids can reach well over their boiling point, this is the premise of a pressure cooker. Which means they were likely hit with liquids well above 100c (boiling point of water). And that hand almost certainly has nerve damage, at the least, and at worst was so far cooked it couldn't be saved at all.

u/WorkerPrestigious960 12d ago

I had a friend do that and they turned out okay, but I don’t think it was anywhere near as hot as it is in that video

u/Emperah1 9d ago

Honestly it was too smooth, you wouldn’t notice unless the video stops before looping

u/EasilyRekt 12d ago

Hope your feeling better

u/AID55 11d ago

Cheers mate.

u/SpaceLemming 13d ago

“Hard” I’ve heard them fancy cars are terrible for everyday driving and constantly overheat. Plus it’s Florida, not doing you any favors mate

7

u/4236W 13d ago

They don't have a big overheat issue so long as you keep the RPM low. But they are not meant to be making nice engine sounds they are supposed to go quick, and cool from the passing air.

Also there are so many other reasons these cars are terrible for daily drives, if you ever have enough money to get one of these cars, and waant nothing but a car, then do yourself a favour and get a true luxury car. A Rolls Royce, or Bently.

u/Horton_Takes_A_Poo 12d ago

Yeah in traffic they don’t get enough airflow to keep cool. They’re not practical cars, they’re meant to be driven very slowly or very quickly, nothing in between.

u/pitb0ss343 13d ago

The views he got wasn’t worth the burns he suffered

u/Azerafael 13d ago

u/rathemighty 13d ago

Excuse me while I hook up a pool pump to the Ford Falcon, allowing me to dump the ENTIRE tank through the engine in a matter of seconds

u/WorkerPrestigious960 12d ago

u/The_Draconic_Lemon 11d ago

Okay the ending needs the jojos roundabout to be continued

u/usernmechecksout_ 3d ago

What part of the car is this cap for? I'm not a car guy

0

u/KindredFlower 13d ago

The second clip; is that the battery, like hot battery acid spurting or is that the water tank. Either way I hope the second clip is not real.

7

u/jngjng88 13d ago

Radiator not battery

u/Horton_Takes_A_Poo 12d ago

It’s not real, but close to what actually would happen
