Edit: this was a joke, which was misinterpreted by the OP, out of respect I have removed it.
Not just that but magma is pretty damn dense. It’s gonna be like hitting solid rock and then immediately burning up.
Didn't they calculate that if you did jump into an open volcano, that you'd basically explode before you even touched down?
Edit: I'm getting old and must be misremembering this. https://youtu.be/Q1blQRrM4TA
Pop like a hotdog?
Explode? That's certainly news to me!
Woah, not my intention at all, sorry. It was just a joke, as I assumed your "jump in a volcano" statement was a joke.
Absolutely zero ill intent, I apologise completely. I'll edit the comment.
So you want to be concious for hours while enveloped in lava?
Maybe you already know but if you throw yourself into a volcano you don't dive like in water. You stay above it because of density.
Make sure to livestream it, shouting "try this, kids at home!"
On the off-chance you're not joking don't actually do that. I thought we were doing some edgy humour it's not actually a good suggestion.
