Yeah, my favorite part of the article was the warning to please use proper safety precautions with liquid N, right under the no-gloves picture...

Due to the Leidenfrost effect, incidental contact of bare skin and LN2 is not usually a problem (it boils off locally and creates a gaseous N2 barrier). Other things superchilled by it will not be as forgiving, however.
