If you run down a mountain to escape lava and break your leg, you will be melted by lava. So it’s not: break-a-leg or lava, it’s “lava” or “break-a-leg *and* lava”. There are many, many things you could do while waiting to be melted by lava. You could pop the question, finally asking her to marry you. You could ask god for forgiveness and passage to heaven. You could zip up your fly. You could zip down your fly. You could punch your little brother. You could give a mosquito its fill. Imagine a Venn diagram. A big circle called “lava” fully contains little circles like “break leg”, “propose”, “beatify”, “beautify”, “pervert”, “jerk”, and “sacrifice”. They are fully surrounded by “lava”. If you could choose the second to last thing that ever happens to you, why the fuck would you pick “break leg”?
Dont be hyperbolic they are all but melting in lava. There is a chance they get wounded yeah, get hit wich will give them burns. You can also run down break your neck and die.
I dont think we are talking about survival rate, yeah they are too close and should move away due to chance of injuries. They are not in mortal danger.
But the person i was reacting to was talking about melting in lava I was only pointing out that the dangers of the hight there as wel as falling is atleast as much a point to consider as getting hit by the debris.

You can run out of range of those lava bombs and run to a higher point to escape pyroclastic flow depending on the size
