[@dimitar4y]

I KEEP SAYING, the jello is not an accurate representation of living things! It's 10 times tougher than real human flesh. The inside of your body is made of layers, tubes and holes (i.e. blood vessels, muscle/tendon channels) that will LOVE the water as an uninvited guest :) Imagine a razorblade equipped beyblade going inside your body - yeah it'll be that bad.

[@plzletmebefrank]

As it's clear and not amber, this is very likely a synthetic gel made of polymers and an oil (this is also why it's self-healing via the application of heat unlike the original gelatin mix) so it isn't the jello this time and is higher quality... And not soluble in water like gelatin would be. Which is kind of important. However... It being "tougher" does not mean that it would be easier to cut into than human skin. In fact, it's stiffer (skin stretches quite a lot which helps make it very durable), doesn't have the water-resistant properties of skin (mainly the bi-lipid layering), and there's something about some synthetic gels breaking down when in contact with water- though I sadly came up short in my brief research and don't know if that's just something to be aware of when manufacturing it or is also present when complete. Point is... I know from experience that around 4 inches is enough space between your skin and a mid range (like a 30°) nozzle on an average pressure washer to avoid anything besides a stinging sensation... And that gel cut away easily in those conditions. Your insides would absolutely have an issue with water flooding into them, but your outsides are more resistant to pressurized water than ballistics gel. But still. Be careful around it. Point blank, even the widest nozzle with weaker pressure washers can absolutely do some damage. The force just dissipates very quickly. And once you get above a couple hundred psi, things get incredibly dangerous. So for the waterjet, yes. I'd imagine it would be much more destructive to a person than a block of ballistics gel.

[@dimitar4y]

@@plzletmebefrank at 100psi+ the waterphobic coating on your skin (the lipids) are irrelevant. But everything else I agree. Gel is slightly easier to 'scratch' than skin.

[@debicook6544]

BALISTIC GEL NOT JELLO

[@plzletmebefrank]

@@debicook6544 The original recipe for ballistic gel is literally just more precise jello. It's just gelatin and water at a precise mix to make something with similar consistency to human flesh when impacted by a bullet. This ballistic gel is a newer recipe using mineral oil and a synthetic polymer so that it can be easily melted to fill holes and be reused. But... Yeah. Ballistics gel is very much like jello. It's the cheapest way to get a consistent block of material to test that vaguely approximates human flesh.

There has actually been cases of an air hose bursting organs. There was a cctv video where a boss was joking around with a worker and quickly pressed an air hose against the workers pants where his ehem hole is and did a half second burst of air and even though the air had to go through multiple thick layers of clothes that half second burst of air still managed to burst most of his organs like a balloon and he didn't make it and the boss was charged with the workers passing. Trust me air compressors can be extremely deadly even if ur wearing thick clothes. Treat every tool with care and never joke around with tools.

You should try the compressed air through several layers of fabric. I remember a comment on a video where someone didn't believe compressed air could penetrate clothing and injure someone. It was a video about compressed air injuries that happened in an Indian factory somewhere

[@plzletmebefrank]

... I could understand if they meant like... Rubber coats or something. But fabric. The thing full of holes. Like... Skin is fairly good at keeping things out. And the compressed air most people are used to only gets up to 200 psi at most. Which isn't too serious of a hazard. I could understand someone not thinking it was as dangerous as it actually is at higher pressures. But because of fabric? Also, the compressed air they were using isn't high pressure enough for an adequate test for that. Just being an inch away probably doesn't damage the gel, let alone being around that far away and with that much fabric in front of it.

[@ganjasage420]

I use a 1600psi electric usually with 15°, and times when I use it to wash my hands, I have it as far as I can. I did it close once to see. It just about ripped my skin on my wrist. My wrist was definitely red as if rugburn, without the rugburn feel. It felt like tingling from a good slap. 25° is still similar but can have the nozzle closer. 45° unless you practically touch your skin with it, it wont do anything. However, all of them do not feel good, kind of feels like bits of sand hitting your skin even when thier far enough away to not* cause damage to the skin. I'd say for my pressure washer, 0° is no go, 15° 6-8 inches, 25° 4-6 inches, 45° 2-4 inches are just safe enough distance before you'll get skin damage. When i do use 0°, that things never pointed at me or anyone else(along with other degrees for anyone else), as it will certainly not be a fun time. *=edit.

[@schuylerpryne5]

Worked offshore on oil rigs. Never had serious failures. 5k psi systems w lots of accumulators, no pressure drop when leaks happen. Heard of a 1/4od tube fail w 5kpsi, the guy had a rag on the crack when it blew and launched the rag up into his forearm. Supposedly had to flay his arm open when they found it. Pressure and flow are both powerful on their own. Imagine 60kpsi at 5gpm.

The nasty thing about air compressors is that there could be metal splinters coming out. Thats why it’s so dangerous

[@Pc118Gamer]

I used to work as a car washer, and swiped my hand through near the nozzle, it hurt a little, but didn't break skin or cause any damage, I think it was on 25° or so.

[@jordanstatler4661]

I used to do waterblasting and saw a coworker lose control of his 20k psi lance when he hit a plug and it kicked back on his forearm for just a split second and took an almost baseball sized chunk out of his arm and injected enough water under his skin the medics thought his arm was broken when they showed up because of the deforming. So, yeah, water can do some damage.

Heard some horror stories about people walking through pinhole leaks of super high pressure steam. Not sure that is something you could safely test, alas.

[@plzletmebefrank]

There are definitely ways to make the high pressure fluid more easily detectable (colorings, odorants, etc), to help determine a leak (coatings or plastic "skins" that would break in a clearly visible way or would set off a pressure sensor, pressure sensors at two opposing ends linked together to compare against, etc), or some exorbitantly expensive ideas like an infrared setup to detect the fluid spraying through the air. And I'm sure some of these are in effect. But... A quick and easy way to just check and know that there's no leaks... I can't think of any.
