I was working on my cousin's 5.0 mustang. I just had it running in the garage checking fuel pressure. I then shut it off checked the radiator hose and removed the radiator cap and set it on the battery. I then walked over to the pass side of car and removed my fuel pressure gauge. I then walked by the drivers side and at that moment antifreeze just blew out of the radiator and just covered me with fluid. ouch

Yes, I have had this happen to me, the situation was somewhat different but the results were the same.
I got a pretty good burn on my arm from it, no scar but it hurt like a bitch for a while.
Always be very careful when you open a cooling system after the engine has been run, even if it was only running for just a short time.
Hope you are O.K. and all things are good,

Watched one time as Jan Salsman went to open up the cap on his vette and POW it let go on him. I dragged him to the back yard sprayed him with the hose then took him to the ER the doctor said it was good we got water on him right away as he would have had some nasty burns.
I did the same things[like a dummy] years later car was 260 degrees moved the cap and right in the face but it was dead ass cold, The stat had not opened yet sure scared the crap out of me.
