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!
Edit: misunderstandings that have been clarified
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.
Oh my bad, I was a bit touchy about it in my response. I appreciate the clarifying, it’s all about intentions and I see that you had good intentions there so we’re square. I’ll edit mine to indicate a misunderstanding so you aren’t left with the tenth degree about it.
