MAN FROM LOX

Viewer Warning! Although this is one of the funnier training films ever produced by the armed forces, it contains a graphic scene of a burn victim at the very end. It can be quite disturbing for some of you, but I believe that's the point of the film, to SCARE you into handling liquid oxygen properly.

Where do you find these??!! Amazing. I like how seeing the effects of LOX knocks the jive right out of the brother. And who knew your old parents could walk right onto the base and beg you to come home. Is this real? Thanks for posting it.

I saw this in Boot camp back in '86 over in Great Lakes. To be honest, only a few of us that saw this film took it seriously. I was one of them since I was an Aircraft Electrician and needed to work on LOX systems. I remember my CC telling us that the guy at the end of the video died within minutes after it was filmed...scared the crap out of me. Glad he did though, being cautious around LOX kept me safe......and alive.

I am old enough to remember when this was thee quintessential LOX training video. I was 18 stationed at George AFB, CA in 1976....yep, this is what they showed us. Oh yeah, I was the 7th female crew chief on F-4's......and somehow this wasn't funny. We called it the "Pizza-man" film. The ending is why.....

Thank you for that answer...and one day, may the security office have your ass.

@tomservo56954 It was filmed at NWC (ie, China Lake). It's a base that is basically run by civilians. Roughly 6,000 civilians and maybe 500 military. It's now known as NAWCWD but as a guy who works there, I can tell you that I can go months without seeing an actual military member in uniform.

[tomservo56954]

What kind of security let all those civilians on the base?

I remember as a kid seeing that guy at the end in one of the 8mm reels my dad used to bring home for us to watch that vision stuck in my mind all these years it was in black and white as I remember grew up there on the base 1963 -1976
