One or two writers have mentioned drivers getting burned by burst
cooling tanks or radiators.  This is nothing new.  As a historical note,
I recall that at the dawn of aviation,  when Wilbur and Orville Wright
were trying to perfect their original planes, Wilbur got a severe burn
on his arm in the air one time when a hose between their engine and the
radiator failed.  The burn was fairly extensive, very painful and
hampered him for weeks before the arm recovered. 

Obviously, we don't want any of this.
Cheers from ArdunBill in the Great Dismal Swamp, Chesapeake, VA.  Where
the Fall weather has been ideal for motorcycling recently, but has now
turned a bit chilly.
