[QUOTE="Maldin, post: 4744014, member: 27170"] Just looking at the kind of damage that was done to someone with Darth Vader's hitpoints, even at the distance he was from the lava, should tell you something! Also, note that the article ryryguy linked to includes several reports of people who died quite far from the lava (50 and 100 yards!). It does not, however, provide details of the survivor incident. I suspect he fell on cooling (yet still hot), solid lava and not actual molten lava... or the burn damage would have been FAR more extensive both in area and depth. His entire arm would have been plunged into it and charcoaled to the bone, not just "first and second degree burns on his hand and hip". 2700 degrees is something that kills instantly.
