Man rescued from National Park heat after his skin melted off

1. From the article: A man was rescued from the oppressive heat of one of the country’s hottest National Parks after the skin melted off his feet.

   It’s not a secret that this summer has been particularly warm, with the season even setting historical records for its suffocating heat. You might think you have it bad, but there’s almost certainly always somewhere hotter.

   California’s Death Valley, for example, hit 123 degrees Fahrenheit on July 20, and that was just the air temperature. The sprawling dunes would have been even hotter than the already absurd atmosphere.

2. I feel like if someone willingly puts themself in an environment where it is 123 degrees they are not making good decisions

3. Makes you want to visit, too, right?

4. Maybe we should name these places something scary so that idiots will take them seriously.

5. was he wearing shoes or just wanted to see how it felt? 🤦‍♂️

6. Flip-flops. The man was wearing flip flops in Death Valley.

   Sigh.
