<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Thanks for posting about this overflo. <br><br>Frantisek asked me and others about how to best handle this in the future. <br><br>That the bottle was in the hot sun was a problem. So, one thing that will happen in the future is: there will be a very noticeable sticker on each bottle about not putting a sealed bottle in a warm place or in sunlight. <br><br>Also, Frantisek us looking into bottles with caps that can release pressure when it gets too high. <br><br>Best, <br>Mitch. <br><br>> To: discuss@lists.hackerspaces.org<br>> From: flo@tekstix.com<br>> Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2015 15:41:45 +0200<br>> Subject: Re: [hackerspaces] Food Hacking Base at CCC camp 2015 join and support - BOMB WARNING!<br>> <br>> hi frantisek and everybody<br>> <br>> you had a workshop on kefir or kombucha or something similar and one of <br>> the bottles ended up at our village (leiwandville).<br>> there was a glass bottle used with a ceramic closing bracket.<br>> whoever brought it didnt know that he/she was not supposed to CLOSE it <br>> and the bottle EXPLODED in the middle of an SMD soldering workshop i <br>> gave there.<br>> <br>> <br>> it was really quite bad, people got hurt and need to go to the hospital <br>> because glas particles were stuck in their faces, a throat was cut and <br>> an eyelid bleeding..<br>> we also found a 20cm long piece of glass that went trough the ceiling of <br>> the tent and propelled for another 4-5 meters afterwards.<br>> that tent was made of some sturdy fabric, so if that piece would have <br>> hit a guy he would probably have died.<br>> <br>> anyway, the smd workshop was a BLAST. ;)<br>> <br>> i just wanted to make sure that everybody attending a foodhacking <br>> workshop in the future knows exactly that closing a bottle of fermenting <br>> stuff could result in a lifethreatening bomb.<br>> i am not critisizing you here, you do great work and i am happy that you <br>> do what you do.<br>> i just want to make sure that in the future people will not be hurt by <br>> their lack of knowledge.<br>> <br>> <br>> all the best<br>> -flo<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Discuss mailing list<br>> Discuss@lists.hackerspaces.org<br>> http://lists.hackerspaces.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss<br> </div></body>
