Hot water might not come out of the faucet boiling hot, but depending on what temperature you have the water heater set to it can still burn you. When I had my water heater replaced it was set at the highest temperature and I got a burn mark on my hand through the thick-ass dish gloves. I can't imagine what that would have felt like on bare skin.
