Hi. I think some of you may have seen the film "Final Destination 5" or at least know the Final Destination series. If not, you can stop and read this.
Now that you know what I'm talking about, let's talk about Olivia's death. You can see the scene here (keep in mind that this is an horror film).
When Olivia goes to have her eye surgery, her head is tightly secured and her right eyelid pried open with a speculum. A cup of water that Olivia left on top of a water cooler is knocked over when the cooler bubbles, and the cup spills onto the power unit of the laser machine plugged into the wall. The intensity of the ray overheats and the laser machine starts to shake. As Olivia reaches for the emergency stop on the control, she knocks it to the floor, where the activation button is pressed, discharging the laser in her right eye.
The laser burns across her iris and pupil. She removes the speculum from her eye and holds her hand in the way, burning lines across her palm, although the laser still burns through her hand.
We can stop here. It's since the first time I saw this film that I'm wondering if it's possible that a laser for eye surgery can reach such a high power to burn the skin without burning the diode. What are your thoughts?
