[FL] Woman's Leg Severed By Flying Pressure Cooker * 1

MIAMI -- A 79-year-old woman's leg was severed Thursday morning when her pressure cooker fell off her stove and exploded, according to Miami Fire Rescue.

Fire officials said the woman was cooking in her home at 1736 SW 24th Court just after 10 a.m. when the pressure cooker fell to the floor.

"Right now, we don't know exactly what happened, but from what we are told, she was cooking, and for some unknown reason, the pressure cooker fell," said Lt. Ignatius Carroll, of Miami Fire Rescue. "The impact caused it to explode. Maybe pieces from the pressure cooker severed her leg completely."

The woman's leg was severed below the knee, officials said.

"We don't know what part of the pressure cooker actually did the damage," Carroll said.

A family member put a tourniquet on the woman's leg to slow the bleeding. Carroll said that if the woman had been alone, she likely would have bled to death.

Rescuers arrived to find the woman on the floor with food everywhere.

Carroll called it "one of the freakiest accident calls that we have ever heard."

The woman was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in stable condition. Carroll said doctors were working to save the woman's leg.




Holy shit folks, be safe when you're canning this year!

Yikes, that is some shit right there. :uhoh:

Be careful folks, a pressure cooker at 15 PSI is like a bomb sitting on your stove top. Literally.

Yikes!

I remember almost dropping one just after moving it between burners, exploding metal shards would not be pleasant.

This news article will strike fear into every amateur cultivator to exercise extreme caution when operating a pressure cooker. Truth be told is that there is alot of potential hazards in home cultivation that sometimes even the experienced cultivator will get liquored up and forget about.

Wish I had a video of lighting both my arms on fire during work in a glovebox. Thankfully propylene burns it fual source as fast as it does.

Maybe pressure cookers should be treated like wild mushrooms, when in doubt throw it out.

Sometime a used battered pressure cooker is just not worth it. At least that is what I have heard, you don't want one that has been dropped or banged around.
Treat those puppies with respect.

I have a AA 25X that has been used at least one a month since 1970. If you take care of your PC you will be safe and only need to replace things every 20 years.

I knew good things would come of this thread.


But seriously I was very nervous when I started using PC's for the first time.
Images of the lid exploding off and crushing/burning my face danced around in my head :lol:

When I was a kid I always wanted a peg leg. I was into pirates a little too much though.
