I typed in Navy Safety Video and this showed up... shame that this is the first time I've seen this! I'm currently in the Navy and I definitely think they should make videos like this nowadays. Sailors think they're indestructive!

God Bless the poor Sailor at the end. And God Bless all our American troops who work in aviation!

This makes me kind of sick to see this after PR3 Luke Mcgeever was killed on the Independence in 1991. R.I.P.

I wouldn't call it sexist... but whatever.

This movie is legendary among Air Force Fuels troops. I never understood though. If there is anything LOX is dangerous to mix with, it is hydrocarbon fuels. So if they are worried about safety, why did they hand LOX storage and issue over to the FUELS career field? It's really not that dangerous if you follow the safety basics. Worst I have had happen is minor stinging of the skin from playing in the lox and a few "pops" from stepping on liquid on the ground.

Thank You for uploading this! I am aware of the hazards of LOX spilt on tarmac but just how sensitive it is to shock was an eye opener

@LooseRivet2103 The film is still used at DCAE Cosford to this day.

@HarmacAttack No doubt the female WOGs didn't find it so funny. ;) But then again I'm in an infantry unit, so shit like this makes everyone grin.

Wait a minute, he got the cart back, why did she have his ass? I thought that was the punishment for not bringing the cart back. No wonder we were confused.

It was said at the time that the airman had just completed filling aircraft LOX converters, after getting aircraft grease and oil on his LOX suite, he walked back into the hanger and lit a cigarette. BOOM! That was it.
