Report: Man died seeking place to soak in Yellowstone park
Associated PressNovember 15, 2016

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — An Oregon man who died after falling into a scalding Yellowstone National Park hot spring in June was looking for a place to "hot pot," the forbidden practice of soaking in one of the park's thermal features, officials said.

Sable Scott told investigators that she and her 23-year-old brother, Colin, left a boardwalk near Pork Chop Geyser and walked several hundred feet up a hill in search of "a place that they could potentially get into and soak," Deputy Chief Ranger Lorant Veress told KULR-TV (bit.ly/2fulh4g) in an interview....

...The next day, workers could not find any remains in the boiling, acidic water.

"In very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving," Veress said....

So did he support Hillary, or Bernie?

Still, a horrible way for him to have gone, and for his sister to have watched.

he report says Sable Scott recorded their journey to the spring and as the accident happened.
But officials are not releasing the video or describing its contents.
Other parts of the reports have been redacted under the Privacy Act, which Veress said was done out of consideration for the Scott family.

Since they were from Oregon, I suspect it was more like: 'hold my fatty and my doritos myan, and watch me shred this!'

I do not know what I am talking about here. Well that is, I don't know from personal experience. But, from what I have read, the guy would have felt almost nothing. When you fall into a pot of boiling water, two things will happen. First, your body goes into shock and shuts down. In this condition you feel nothing, because the sensations overwhelm the nervous system to the point that it stops working. Second, you die.


These two things happen in such quick succession that you don't feel much of anything.


I've heard a similar thing about being burned alive. The pain of the experience depends on how quickly it happens. If you were thrown onto a bonfire, for example, you would die so quickly that it would be relatively painless. That is similar to what happened here. When he fell in head first, it would be over so quickly that he really wouldn't have time to process much pain.

Nope there was a story a couple months back about a kid that was seriously burned. Yellowstone is a volcano that could wipe out most of the western US if it ever blows; treat it with respect people. There are lots of other places to find hot springs you can soak in.
