"Plunging"? I call BS, isn't lava way too thick for that?

I’m pretty sure you’d lose more than just your arm if you were close enough to lava to “plunge” any sort of member into it.

Lava is typically 1300 F/700 C. Just exposure to the heated air around it would instantly burn you all over

I work at a blast furnace, you can get alarmingly close to liquid iron before you are permanently injured.

Thank you and your apprentices for quantifying this threshold.
