The "Boiled alive" effect of high pressure, high temperature steam bursting into a confined space and searing the skin off the personnel in said space. Occurs mainly on board vessels, where less than intelligent choices are made that result in human lobsterism.

MMC King: You FUCKING WIZARDS WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING THAT LOOKS TOO HEAVY FOR YOU TO LIFT? HE LIKELY EXPERIENCED HUMAN LOBSTERISM! Do you have ANY idea how much paperwork I'll have to do?
