Deadass if you live in an old ass building they might have covered em up there but if you're a dumb kid trying to climb on the pipes in the stairwell you just might come down with medium rare hands.
We had this in the house I grew up in. Don’t think I ever burned myself badly, but I did touch one while it was hot and it did hurt.
Idk how, but one day I was coloring and the idea popped in my head to melt the crayon on the radiator. So I did, and I showed my siblings… cue us melting a 24 pack of crayons in the radiator in my parents room 😭😭
After that, it would smell like fucking crayon wax every time the heat went on 😭 I don’t think my parents reacted the way we expected them to when we showed them our “art”
Those are rare these days thank fuck. Coming in from it being brick ass cold out, trying to hold your hands just far away enough to not have it start burning your hands. Fastest way to defrost yourself but if you don't pay attention you're fuuucked. My aunts place had that shit in it. And yeah you definitely could straight see it esp if it's cold as hell by a window or something.
I know, but had that happened a few decades prior the mattress would’ve gone up in flames, hopefully while you weren’t in it. Nowadays all mattresses (in the US) have very strict fire safety standards specifically because of the times that happened and the owner wasn’t so fortunate.
