Fine. The just don't land on a manhole cover in Texas during the Summer...same results.
If it hurts when you do that; don't do that.
That's the result of "an act of God". This one was the result of "an act of Con Ed". Man shouldn't criticize God . . . but we sure can Con Ed!
A manhole cover that's been heated by the sun might give you a first degree burn.
It's not going to permenantly scar you on contact.
