Per another article it sounds like the injuries might have been more fall-related than burn related. Apparently the vat was not very full.

Just a guess, but they might have been cleaning it when one fell in, and the other fell in trying to help them out. But hopefully both will recover soon.

But chocolate tempers at a fairly low temperature, especially compared to the temps needed for sugar work. I would think the greater danger was drowning, and scalding a close second, just due to the amount of exposure.

“Adam died yesterday after falling into a vat of whisky. Three men dove in to save him but he fought them off valiantly.”

Knew it must have been nicked. Was a long time ago and prob the only time I knew him to be funny. My mate, that is, not Benny.

Sounds like one of those accidents that is more fun in the movies than in real life.
