OMG!!!
Did the acid do any damage to his sight or his face???
If not, he is one lucky little bugger. What a blessing you were there- and WITH a running hose at that. BIG lesson learned that day huh? Hope he was okay.
No lasting problems,,
The boy was "blessed",, it seemed like once a year something like this would happen,,
a year later he rolled one of the farm cars (an old Nova, IIRC) on its roof, the same cousin was with him.
There was not a spot on that farm over 12 feet above sea level, he found an embankment ,, accidentally.
the only one on the 1,000 acre farm, IIRC,,,
A couple years earlier, he walked in the house and asked his mother for some band-aids,,
He had stuck a hatchet in his leg!!
Before that, he fell off of a swing set, broken arm.
At about 15 years old, him and another cousin was hunting deer, he was skinny, and had never worn a belt in his life.
That day, he put on a leather belt, so he could carry a sheath knife,,
Him and another cousin was standing on the ground, under the tree stand they were supposed to be in,,
My brother fired his 3 1/2 inch Magnum single "0" buckshot lever action ten gauge right at them both, accidentally.
The buckshot pellet hit my nephew right in the belt, He had a big purple mark.
If he had not been wearing the belt?,,
Then there is the story about shooting off his big toe, with a muzzle loader, at about 30 years old,,
I am sure I told that story before,,
And his story still continues,,
