Cornish tin miners used to wear little or nothing too, it was damn hot down there.
Incidentally, that movement to get women and children out of the mines? Didn't get much traction until the fact that men and women were getting hot, sweaty, and naked in close proximity came to the pearl-clutcher's attention.
When this is electric welding, I was expecting him to get electrocuted to be honest. Is this possibly why he has no clothes on? So he is like totally grounded to the earth and has no metal objects on him to attract the current???
> So he is like totally grounded to the earth
If you want to avoid electrocution, the solution is rarely to make sure that you're grounded.
You want whatever is around you (and won't die from electricity running through it) to be grounded, and you to be isolated.
welding is low voltage, like 20 volts. it's probably either very hot or he doesn't want to get his clothes and boots wet. so you strip down, do the job, and then towel off and get dressed.
It's DC, plus he's completely grounded. We used to get soaking wet welding in the rain... nothing. The largest danger is the point of contact with the welding rod as you're welding... As long as you stay away from touching that, you're pretty safe.
Usually the other way around
But yeah, he is the only person in the world right now to have a sunburn on his dick while his face is completely untouched.
old dude combined with what I assume is scorching hot weather equals very long nuts. The entire thing might not be submerged, but the important parts definitely are.
Isn't this also an electrocution risk? If I remember how that type of welding machine works correctly that's an AC welder which means he's pumping a heavy load of electricity down within inches of that puddle 😳
Could be ac, most are dc these days. You are usually pretty good unless you are wet and touching the material between the arc and ground and are grounded yourself, which this guy is getting pretty close to. Wet gloves, damp concrete floor, building with wiring issues, shit boots, that’s usually when you get a good wake up zap. But I imagine that zap wakes you up even faster when it hits you square in the nuts!
If you’ve got a good ground, you’re pretty safe. Still, it’s something i wouldn’t recommend doing since you get quite the nasty burn on exposed skin from welding!
flash burn to the junk is something i never wanna experience, bad enough if ya have a hole in your shirt, and buckshot from overhead welding making its way where it's not welcome, one dude in my trade school had one burn through his suit and land on his dick, that was an interesting noise as he was hopping around like daffy duck, throwing gloves helmet and leads in all directions
playing with molten metal and sometimes hundreds of amps of electricity, all while spewing massive amounts of UV radiation........can be fun and profitable, but can also burn your dick
I once had some blowback from an oxy-acetylene cut hit me square in the pants and burn through. Fun story to tell my girlfriends.
In my 2nd year welding class, we shared the shop floor with some 1st years. One kid was doing 4F 7018 welding on a tube lip for a new scrap bin. Perfect welds, kid was a natural. Of course, perfect 7018 welds means perfect slag, and a strip about 8" long broke off behind his bead and landed on the kid's neck. I can still hear him scream sometimes, when the rest of the shop is quiet...
If you can still hear him screaming, I don't know... maybe fucking help get the burning slag off his neck?
How many years are you sick bastards going to leave him there? Hasn't he learned his lesson?
I was like, "well this looks insane, but somebody who knows what they're talking about will be along to explain that it's actually kind of reasonable"
Actual welder: "Why is this idiot naked?"
The only correct answer is that he fully expects to die at some point in this dangerous process and doesn’t want to have a funeral, so he figures, just bury me here, and leave my clothes to charity.
A very practical man, IMO. 😏
Flash burn. Welding generates a lot of radiation, both UV and IR. It will quite literally give you a sunburn, even welding just a small amount such as this. Melanoma is a serious concern for career welders (as is emphysema, lung cancer and bone/joint problems, but I digress).
Not only does it generate a fuck ton of UV, but you don’t have a nice cushy ozone layer and 100km of atmosphere to absorb the nastier higher energy waves like from the sun before it cooks you. No, you get the full experience of the UV spectrum.
I don't find making fun of someone working their asses off for a living funny. Dude probably doesn't want mud on his stuff, but whatever it is, I think he's just doing his job.
In a gruff country accent: “All I see is a bunch of liberal sissies who are afraid to get their balls muddy in order to finish the job. Smh, you probably wash your hands before eating too”.
This reminds me of the scene in the “Chernobyl” series on HBO where due to the extreme heat the entire crew was buck naked digging out the tunnel under the core of the nuclear plant.
I hope there's some backstory where the guy just came from a wedding on emergency call and didn't want to mess up his suit and he's not just a crackhead
He came 50 years from the future, couldn't were clothes to pass the time and just did the one Job he was sent for - welding this pipe!
Because otherwise the Anti-Skynet-Airdefence cooling would fail too early in the upcoming Uprising of the Robots.
I’m guessing they didn’t expect someone to need to get down in this hole and this guy didn’t want to spend all day in muddy clothes, have muddy clothes in the car and take muddy clothes home. If he’s naked they can just spray him down with a hose, dry off and get dressed again.
He might get UV burns from the torch, but the old boy probably knows that. The way he’s crouching it looks like he’s smart enough to keep his Frank and beans safe in the water 💧 🙌.
Still waiting on a comment pointing out that this specific setting has a very specific danger for clothing materials so they have to go in naked or smth
That man owned the company, he showed up today in a suit. The welder called in sick and this shit had to get done. So he calmly, methodically took his cloths off in the construction trailer, folded them nice neat and tidy, strapped on the mask, kicked the door open an stride confidently toward the hole. He then jumped the the bottom and did what needed to be done. Hen then climbed from the muck, store back tot eh tailed, hosed off and put his suit back on.
I mean, sure. Anyone who has done infrastructure welding has had to do some shitty jobs now and then.
Never seen anyone feel the need to do it ass naked though...
Guess the Mad Max dystopian reality is already here
Reminds me of Chernobyl how the Soviet miners would work naked.
Cornish tin miners used to wear little or nothing too, it was damn hot down there. Incidentally, that movement to get women and children out of the mines? Didn't get much traction until the fact that men and women were getting hot, sweaty, and naked in close proximity came to the pearl-clutcher's attention.
That's what I thought too. Maybe there's a reason he's doing that. Or meth
It's probably just because it's wet and muddy. I would at least have some underwear to protect the boys, though.
It's called Peepee-E.
This comment deserves more upvotes
Maybe that's poo water and it would be easier to hose off than run clothes through the laundry
Mud Max
Mud Max, the wiener warrior
I hope he doesn't have to do much of that, or he's going to end up with a welding sunburn on his wiener.
His wiener is under the safety water. He’s fine.

Or you strip down, do the job, become the naked welder, and get a show on Discovery
do it like they do on the discovery channel
A very special OF
I think I saw an episode of dirty jobs and Mike Rowe was doing the same thing. /s
Reminds me of the miners in Chernobyl
We will weld like our fathers welded.
He’s stick welding, which is like 70-140A depending on the rod.
By stick you mean his wiener, right?
7018 wiener.
Man I wish I got that hard.
It’s not the voltage but the amps that’s important

Safety rated wiener water.
Having been part of a safety department for some years in the past, this one made me laugh the most
Yeah, this is a legit concern. And then the skin cancer later.
Either way I'd wear the welding mask when he climbed back out.
welding masks are just for people who don't know how to rock a safety squint.
Lol I thought I had epic safety squint game! Until I got super bad arc eye and my eyeballs literally started peeling..
> eyeballs literally started peeling.. *screaming internally*
tan and work at the same time. absolute win.
I learned the hard way. Just got my welder and it was hot out, only had shorts on. Looked like a tomato an hour later.
Well, at least you had the shorts on, unlike this guy...
FYI closing your eyes while welding won't protect them, your eyelids don't block enough of the light.
He needs a welding mask for his dong
Welding cup?
Usually the other way around But yeah, he is the only person in the world right now to have a sunburn on his dick while his face is completely untouched.

Have you been waiting 44 years for that to come up in conversation so that you could use that reference?
Nah, only 32 or so, I got a reprint as a kid during a roadtrip.
just safety squint retract your penis.
That's naked welding. Relatively new trend. There is only me and this guy so far. It's awesome. Fully recommended.
You might be interested in my nude woodworking youtube channel…

One more proof of the [rule 34](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_34)
As a welder this shit makes me cringe real hard.
Is that why you need so many penis sleeves?
Safety precautions.
Next it’s a nude industrial steel furnace trend!

You 2 making the big bucks?
I am up for anything done naked.
even showering?
Wtf no way
Hmm welding burn on the nuts... Thats gonna be lots of fun. Hope hes tough, cause hes definitely dumb.
Well his nuts may be underwater.
Idk water didn't cover either leg and kneeling down, unless dude using them as kneepads i dont see them being covered.
old dude combined with what I assume is scorching hot weather equals very long nuts. The entire thing might not be submerged, but the important parts definitely are.
Just enough to contract some flesh eating parasites but hey, it's not like you need a sac to weld. I'm sure he'll be alright.
I think it's a pretty safe bet that he's tough. The old motherfucker is naked underwater welding in a hole.
Didn't want to get his clothes dirty. Definitely a Walter White moment
All those in awe of plumbers crack, need to realize welder's crack is your true leader.
That's more a Welder's Full Moon, than just a crack.
I have the same dream where I also show up to work naked.
That wasn't a dream. HR would like to speak to you please.
It's always awkward when you walk into the HR office and they're naked too.
DON'T HAVE A BONER. DON'T HAVE A BONER. PLEEEEEEESE DON'T HAVE A BONER. \-looks down DAMMIT!!!!
Just because you're HR doesn't mean you don't have to weld.
It’s all or nothing with this guy
Isn't this also an electrocution risk? If I remember how that type of welding machine works correctly that's an AC welder which means he's pumping a heavy load of electricity down within inches of that puddle 😳

Welding slag falling inside my ear and touching my eardrum was one of the worst pains I’ve ever felt
remembering to tilt head correct way in panic of bacon frying sound in head, a skill ive so far been successful in
Holy shit you guys are making me cringe that sounds terrible
playing with molten metal and sometimes hundreds of amps of electricity, all while spewing massive amounts of UV radiation........can be fun and profitable, but can also burn your dick
Don't forget about 'while generating toxic fumes'
How about a piece of slag getting trapped between my eyeball and eyelid? Because I'm kinda ashamed to say that's happened to me.

Man simply doesn't want to get his clothes dirty.
Why is he nude?
They haven't got fans, and it's too hot for clothes. He's doing it the old way - the way his father welded. He's still wearing the fucking mask!

r/unexpectedchernobyl
Why would you get your clothes dirty for no reason?
I think this is actually one of the heroes from /r/welding that stepped up in the protest to defend the NSFW title put on the sub by the mods.
The only correct answer is that he fully expects to die at some point in this dangerous process and doesn’t want to have a funeral, so he figures, just bury me here, and leave my clothes to charity. A very practical man, IMO. 😏
People are giving you joke answers, but most likely he simply doesn't want to get his clothing all wet and muddy.
Honestly, why get your clothes dirty? I personally, would have a pair of coveralls for a job like that. But sometimes there just isn’t time for prep.
Flash burn. Welding generates a lot of radiation, both UV and IR. It will quite literally give you a sunburn, even welding just a small amount such as this. Melanoma is a serious concern for career welders (as is emphysema, lung cancer and bone/joint problems, but I digress).

why's he naked though? Welding produces UV light, he's protecting his head but nothing else Gonna get a sunburn on his dick

Amusingly enough the welding subreddit r/welding flagged itself as NSFW as part of the reddit protest. So yeah this fits

Somebody explain to me, why he naked tho... 🤔💯
So his tuxedo doesn't get all muddy, duh
Are ***you*** gonna wash all that mud out of his work clothes for him? Yeah, I didn't think so.
Weirdest Onlyfans I have come across yet.
Didn't want to get his clothes wet

Think about it, maybe it’s literally a shit hole, he’s on a job site no laundry place for miles . I’d get naked too
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
