Oh yeah?

When was the last time you sat on a hot soldering iron, or the second
anoode lead of a TV that was on? ;-)

I only tried to catch a dropped soldering iron once.


I caught one that rolled of someone else's workbench once. I saw
something rolling off the bench out of the corner of my eye, and caught
it before I realized what it was. I burnt three fingers and the palm of
my hand pretty bad. Luckily, I had some very thick military surplus
"Solenoid Lubricant" which was a very thick silicon grease. I smeared it
over the wounds within seconds, which prevented the burnt tissue from
drying out. Two weeks later there was almost no sign of the burns.
