Info from Licensor: "My cousin is a photographer and she wanted to try one of those pictures where you throw boiling water into the air in freezing temperatures and it freezes instantly and creates a cool effect. We tested it out a few times before actually going for it, and when we finally did it for real, it went horribly wrong. It turned out that I had too much water in the jug and after throwing the water overhead, the rest of the boiling hot water in the jug poured directly down my back. I was left with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on about 1/3 of my back. It's safe to say I will never try it again."
