Well, now this is on my list of invisible things that scare me:

  • Radiation
  • Methanol fires
  • Supercritical steam jets

Not quite invisible but you could also splash and wade into a pool of strong acid thinking it was water, during what first seemed like a somewhat routine FUBAR maintenance situation...filling your boots etc.
