Perhaps because of the Leidenfrost effect? LN would evaporate before, or very briefly during, contact with skin, creating a cushion of air under the droplet, making it just roll away and avoid freezing of the skin.
Maythe the LN would "stick" to the gloves, freeze them, and then freeze the skin?
- thunfischbrot 8y agoProper long cryo gloves are fine. It's what you are supposed to use. The issue you are mitigating with the gloves is mostly that you may inadvertently touch surfaces which are extremely cold, freezing your skin itself or freezing it to the surface. Due to the Leidenfrost effect one is rather safe from touching LN directly unless it is for more than a couple of seconds.
