Dry Ice Bomb in Pool...?

Question

If you were underwater and near enough to it, could you get hurt? (ie damage to your ears or eyes, etc)

Answer 1

Yes.  For sure.

Answer 2

yes you can, here is a underwater video

Answer 3

nah. You could throw liquid nitrogen into a pool and jump in afterwards unscathed. the temperature of the liquid nitrogen, (or dry ice) will increase drastically when hitting the warm water.

Answer 4

You'd definitely get hurt! The piece of dry ice would probably hit the bottom and shatter, throwing shrapnel everywhere. And if anyone touched it, even by accident, they would get a serious frostbite.

Answer 5

yes.. and trust me it hurts like h**l

Answer 6

I've held dry ice before.

Answer 7

If it causes a shockwave through the water then yes, it would.  A shockwave travelling through water of enough strength can puncture eardrums.

Answer 8

yeah

Answer 9

probably the rapid expansion of the carbon dioxide woulsd do you no good. not sure how bad though but i wouldnt want to be in there. =D
