Man jumps willingly into bath of acid.

Biggins

This takes a person with real courage to do.

A man jumped into a vat of acid to save a co-worker who fell in after crashing through the roof of a US factory.

Rob Nuckols acted after Martin Davis dropped into the vat, becoming fully submerged.
Mr Nuckols was waist-high while he and others pulled Mr Davis out in New Jersey. The acid was used for cleaning metal tubing.

Rescuers cut Mr Davis out of his clothes and sprayed him with water to limit burns. He is critically ill in hospital.
Mr Nuckols was treated for burns on his legs and abdomen.

How many of us would do the same?
I (being honest) would say I would seriously hesitate.

Fair play to the man for trying to save this friend.

Riddle101

Don't know what I'd do in that circumstance, i'd like to say that i'd try to save him but unless I have something to protect me, I really don't know.

Gummy Panda

Sitting here now thinking about it, I wouldn't jump in.

In the heat of the moment, I don't know

overshoot

that lad must have had some pair of balls

ScumLord

I wouldn't jump in because then there'd be two people that need to be rescued from a vat of acid.

It really really depends on the type of acid. It could be a weak hydrochloric acid or a really strong hydrofluoric acid. They usually dont work instantaneously and you could have some time to wash it off before it starts working.

should have had this stuff for treatment, water is absolutely useless in this kind of situation.

I've read enough comics to know that given what happened Mr. Nuckols will become an even greater hero than any of us could imagine and Mr. Davis will repeatedly attempt world domination.

Mr. Davis will also kidnap Mr. Nuckols' girl.

Sitting here now I'm thinking no fking way, but in the heat of the moment I'd probably have less time to think.

Seems a bit silly really, but then who knows what your instincts would tell ya in a situation like that.

Used work in a similar environment before and I used the acid to clean my willy, harmless stuff.

Damn beaten too it!

Depends on how acidic, therefore how dangerous to me... but honestly most likely I'd stand there screaming; I'm useless in emergencies, I freeze and can't react at all.

Depends on the person who fell in.

What are the chances of that happening?

Got acid splased in my face and eyes at work once- ran blind to the toilets to wash it off and it FECKIN HURT - could not see at all with my eyes streaming/burning so badly and have never forgotten it. I would not have jumped in. Some balls on yer man. What was the other clipe doing on a weak roof above a vat of acid???? I have been there when people have been trapped/crushed and at car crashes, so I know that in an emergency I do not freeze, I help, but there is a limit, and vats of acid are fairly high up on my "not going in there" list. I'd rather chance a burning building. There's somthing insidious and point blank "don't mess" about acid.

Slydice

That took balls!

I'd run away.

Aw this is the one that reminded me of the OP. What a bint


David Allen Kirwan a 24-year-old attempted to rescue a friend's dog after it fell into Celestine Pool, a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park on July 20, 1981. Despite numerous shouts from bystanders, Kirwan dove headfirst into the pool but was unable to save the dog. After managing to swim back to shore, he was helped out of pool, where his injuries became apparent - the exposure to the 200oF (93oC) water of the hot spring resulted in third-degree burns to 100% of his body and had also blinded him. After being led to the sidewalk, Kirwan reportedly stated: "That was stupid. How bad am I? That was a stupid thing I did." When one of Kirwan's shoes was removed, all of the skin came off with it. He died the next day at a Salt Lake City hospital. Although there have been at least 19 deaths due to scalding at the Yellowstone, this was the only known case where someone died after deliberately jumping into one of the park's hot springs.

My fella walked out over a frozen river to pull his dog out when it fell through the ice.... I still call him a retard, and it was a long time before I even met him.

Liamario

I suspect the man had some sort of protection on him, but obviously it wasn't designed for long term exposure. So, he took the risk in the hope he could get them both out very quickly.

What a strange name for a dog?

tahina

I think the aderaline
Kicks in and thats why he jumped in
I think its called fight or flight instinct

Chuck Stone

There was this one guy who was burned by toxic waste acid and was then knocked down and decapitated and amazingly he made a full recovery and went on to be a doctor.

Here he is getting burned by acid.

Here he is as a fully recovered doctor.

Depends on who it was.

Family? yes
Woman? yes
Friends? real ones yes, acquaintances I'd try find a brush for them to grab onto.

Subway Superman Wesley Autrey

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesley_Autrey#cite_note-time100-1


"As Hollopeter lay on the tracks, Autrey saw the lights of an oncoming train. As one of the women held Autrey's daughters back away from the edge of the platform, Autrey dove onto the tracks. He thought he would be able to take Hollopeter off the tracks, but he realized there was not enough time to drag Hollopeter away. Instead, he protected Hollopeter by throwing himself over Hollopeter's body in a drainage trench between the tracks, where he held him down. Though the operator of the train applied the brakes, all but two cars still passed over them [...]."

I know some people who would film it and stick it on Youtube.

No, I wouldn't. Kinda reminds me of this:

I presume the co-worker will get compensation because he fell in accidentally, but will the guy who jumped in willingly after him get the same?

Hope they both make it and that the damage isn't too bad.
