Yes, its happened more than once, I use muriatic acid to clean the bottom of my boat hulls, it cuts through the scum on the bottom of the boat, you really need to wear rubber gloves and protective glasses. If you get some acid on you make sure to flush with plenty of water, I think milk helps too!

I had a pretty severe acid burn where my hand was very pink after it happened. I spare the gory details but is came from concentrated hydrochloric acid (37%!!)

Yes and it scarred me for life. My mom was putting some acids above my stomach when I was a baby coz I think I was having some gas pains. It turned out she had put too much and it burned me. I have the scar up till now.
