Contestants injured during radio station’s dry ice sitting contest
A Birmingham, England, radio station will face court action over a dry ice sitting contest it ran which is alleged to have left three members of the public in hospital for more than eight weeks. Dry ice, which is frozen carbon dioxide, has a temperature of -108.4°F (-78°C). Four people were treated for severe frostbite, which resulted in a loss of skin, fat and muscle and caused permanent scarring.
