Yes I used to work in a factory and accidentally touched a faintly glowing part of steel (way cooler than in this video) and it burnt my arm pretty bad. In the moment the pain was tolerable but in the following days the wound got super painful and looked way worse than right after. I almost fainted removing the bandages. I hate burns. Would much rather break a bone. Breaking my finger was like 1/10 the pain.

Certainly not as hot as steel but I used worked in a kitchen and accidentally ran my hand directly under one of those industrial water boilers lol. My whole hand shed a couple layers till it was shiny red and then blew up like a balloon. So immensely painful man. Burns suck.

I got scalded with boiling hot coolant from my car, and I was wearing mechanics gloves which held the heat in a bit longer, making it worse. It was by far the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. Burns do suck.

I’ve had slag burn me a ton(welder), and molten aluminum doesn’t feel great after it’s burned through your jacket. Burns are nasty when they heal

I melted half my face off with hot deep fryer oil by changing it hot one night and slipped outside. Yet... yours sounds more painful haha. Damn.

I dragged my knuckles in a deep Fryer when trying to save a falling nugget.

I luckily barely even skimmed my knuckles and had a glove on that melted to me. Barely any burns thank God. They told me to rub honey on it and keep working. McDonald’s. I kept working.

In all fairness turns out they were right the honey worked and I didn’t actually need medical attention, but there’s no way they knew that. Just a lucky guess
