Not much detail in any version of the article(s).
Maybe he used a domestic thermos to transport his LN2 and sealed it?

Experimental cook blows hands off trying molecular gastronomy
Excuse the cross-postings:< /span>
This tidbit is from our food safety officer. From this piece, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to me. I did a bit of digging – here’s a wiki entry on the concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_gastronomy But no more information about this incident than below.
Have any of you heard of this? Do any of you might have some insight on how this incident might have occurred? We have a large and active Food Science department and they’re always coming up with new ways to produce food. We would like to be a ble to head them off from something dangerous before we have a similar incident .
Thanks for your speculation and input.

An experimental German cook accidentally blew off both his hands attempting
to
concoct a "molecular gastronomy" dish with liquid nitrogen, a
newspaper report said on Monday.
The 24-year-old man from Stahnsdorf near
There was an "enormous explosion", according to the Berliner
Morgenpost daily.
The man lost one hand in the explosion and the other was so badly injured it
had to be amputated.
The man, who was staying at his girlfriend's mother's house, was rushed to
hospital where his condition was described as life-threatening. He is on
artifical respiration.
He claimed he was trying to fill a gas lighter, but his girlfriend said he
was
trying to empty a canister of liquid nitrogen.
