In: 11
Actually, in bad cases, the fluid messes with you.
In hydraulic devices, fluid is compressed to several hundreds ATM of pressure. If there is a break of pressurized fluid conduct, it will come out at that pressure and if close enough, will cut human flesh like knife. Even if it just squirts through skin, it is in your system and that is a very bad place to store hydraulic fluid. Fluid itself as is i just oil with additives, pressure is what makes it dangerous.
