Narrative

An employee was conducting research and development activities. He was attempting a different recipe for cooking corn using a pressure cooker. He opened the pressure cooker after the gauge returned to zero. After he removed the lid, leftover pressure caused the hot water and corn to splash on him, burning 42% of his body.
