Death by Autoclave

A few days ago I was opening the door to our autoclave to take out some steamy glassware, and the machine made a horrible sound and shot huge puff of steam out of somewhere on its top. I yelped and jumped back, covering my face with the huge filthy "hot mitts," and then thought about how exactly dangerous an autoclave is. For confirmation of this fear, I looked it up:

Clearly, my fears are not unfounded!

Also, they have huge 100 million dollar autoclaves for sterilizing starships! I harbor 100 million dollars worth of fear for these autoclaves-- the chances of getting trapped inside and steam-burned to death are simply to high.
