--- Quote from: BenRG on 02 Apr 2019, 01:46 ---Yes, it is dangerous and can be deadly. The tar will cause body-wide burns and people have lost large chunks of skin and been permanently scarred and crippled. Think of it as a method of lynching that is not at least intended to be lethal.

Nope, they used wood-tar rather than bitumen - the former is viscous at room temperatures.

Still hurts like a bitch unless you use solvent and/or heat/warmth to remove it.

Also, even when you get most of it off, it'll take weeks before it's entirely gone. Some one I know well, crewed on a traditional tall ship. Tarring the rigging is just simple upkeep and maintenance; however, tarred rigging in a hot summer means every one gets more or less tarred.
