What a great idea!
[QUOTE]Jimenez was one of several who jumped in the pool and fell ill. [/QUOTE] Some of the stupidest crap I've ever read.

That's fucking retarded. The cold nitrogen forms a blanket that drives away oxygen. People in the pool basically fainted due to oxygen deprivation. This is basic level chemistry.
Fun is more vital than oxygen apparently. Anyone in the pool is going to have only their head out of the water, and the nitrogen is going to sit on top of the water and displace the oxygen.
I was going to say it really couldn't be that bad thinking they were pouring maybe a couple litres in. I looks like they were pouring in hundreds of litres of the stuff

[QUOTE=Gulen;41108324]It doesn't seem like Jägermeister cares too much about chemistry, except from alcohols.[/QUOTE] I am sure it would go something like this. "Oh man check this youtube video, that stuff is called liquid nitrogen and it creates this cool floor fog, wouldn't it be sweet to have that on our upcoming party" And then somehow they got their hands on the stuff and poured it without realizing what the fuck it actually is.
I hope the fucking idiots that organized this get sued to hell and back. Jesus, how dumb do you have to be?
A marketing department is about to be fired.
Oh god who even thinks it's a good idea to breathe chemical clouds.

I'm incredibly amazed at the stupidity of the people jumping in. Everybody should know that jumping into Liquid nitrogen is a bad idea. At the bare minimum watch some sci-fi or a superhero show. My only way to reason this is the party goers not knowing.

I find it hilarious that the only people dumb enough to do this are the same people that go to pool parties.

It couldn't freeze the water in the pool. It's not toxic or anything, either. The problem is that it created a blanket of nitrogen gas above their heads, which, while not toxic, isn't exactly breathable as it lacks oxygen, so they simply suffocated.

I remember in some of the early UFC events they were using liquid nitrogen to create the "cool fx bro" as the fighters walked to the cage. 100% of the fighters walked to the cage with their mouth and nose covered because of this. Nobody stopped to think that maybe your dumb idea of blasting shit at their faces so it looks cool was robbing their lungs of oxygen.
I'm pretty sure you can get a party fog machine cheaper and easier than 4 fucking barrels of liquid nitrogen

N2, liquid or otherwise, does not react with chlorinated water at STP :v:
I think the fact that this was outdoors didnt help... I've seen plenty of photos/videos of liquid nitrogen fog over pools before, but it was usually like a 1 inch coating on the water, not enough to cover your head.
next time lets jump in lava yeeah good idea

There is a reason that the rough translation of nitrogen when translated from dutch is "suffocation chemical" (stikstof)
i couldn't help but laugh at the video because of the music that was playing at the same time
Christ that's a terrible idea; they're lucky no-one got snapped in half.
