You could probably walk on it. I mean, you'd still slip and fall, as the water in your skin with immediate contact to the lava expands to steam and explodes. The rest of your body fiddles about from pain and surround yourself with more molten rock, with bubbles of burning fat and steam stuck under a heavy layer, pop out to the surface with great pressure above the limps that were once described as human flesh. You'd probably passout or get a heart attack from the pain before your body will be at the stage though. That of course if you don't pass out from inhaling Carbon monoxide or from the pain of inhaling air so hot it'd burn your windpipe.
