There was a fairly good
article on the topic in MIT's Tech Review not too long ago.
Subscription only (MIT alumni get the magazine for free); here's
the URL for those who can access it through school/corporate

You basically have self-trained folks working
with stuff like liquid nitrogen (which is, incidentally, how Dippin'
Dots ice cream is made) and other such novelties....eventually someone
is gonna screw up. The article cited below is clearly sketchy,
but one can suppose that if someone was handling a closed container of
liquid N2 that yeah, they could severely injure
themselves.
Original report is apparently here,
