While welding I leaned back not realizing that moved my apron back against my leg. Yep, hot steel goes through a sock pretty fast.

When I KNOW I'm going to be covered in hot stuff I wear all flame retardant clothes AND extra layers of protection. I'm the one furthest from the camera, the guy behind me is to put out flames, drag me to safety if needed, and have a spare light.
