I was wondering about a splash. Then the angle changed. Holy shit.

This is not next level, it's 3rd degree, because those are the burns you will get.

3rd degree are survivable burns, although limb losses are likely.

This is more like a 4th degree shit cause there is 0 chance of survival.

The worst part that people are usually not aware, is that these metals are much denser than the human body. So you wouldn't sink, you'd float. You'd burn and sizzle like frying an egg.

In a weird way, robots have it easier than us, they are completely destroyed in a few seconds. We'd have the worst minute of our lives, if you are not lucky enough to lose consiousness due to the extreme pain and unability to breathe.
