As a child I learned that fresh or old, lava has hidden ceramic razor blades to scar you for life! They would remind me not to grab, break it or climb on it!
I hope you realise that your hard work will not go unnoticed?. You have been so many peoples source of information from around the world with the amazing videos you have made. Kudos to you GutnTog 👍
I've walked ancient lava fields in Arizona, USA. Long gone cold. Trip and fall on this lava and if the lava doesn't kill you, The shards will rip you flesh six ways to Sunday. Darwin always wins.
Sunset Crater! Those lava flows are not yet a thousand years old, and they look like the “fresh” flows in Iceland. The park rangers warn in no uncertain terms that the lava is sharp like broken glass.
@@brucekuehn4031 Yes. Just for example I was reading a report of coastal hill soil in central California that showed it took about 60,000 years for the dry clayish soil to break down to fertile top soil.
Humans are lousy at judging risk. While any injury or death would be regrettable to an individual, I just hope none of the rescue staff are hurt trying to retrieve anyone who dies of misadventure on lava field. PS: your POV videos are great!
Lol, I love it. I can't wait for it to happen so I can laugh at the idiot who does it. The only tragedy would be if it weren't caught on camera. Pile on the hate if you must, but know this, I'll not apologize for finding amusement in the bonifide profound stupidness of others.
yikes, too much of a visual. Pogo sticks could make a come back is my thinking. Can't beat smart into the stupid ones, but maybe you can revitalize an old sport and test the morons before they bounce.
We were snorkelling on the Big Island of Hawaii just with shorts and tshirt. I came out of the water with a deep gash just under my knee from the lava. I now have a volcano shaped scar. It’s so sharp I never felt it happen. Most of us had many other minor bleeding cuts on our legs. It’s not just the molten lava that’s dangerous, lava can be razor sharp. Falling through a very thin crust is a huge danger and you don’t know it’s there until it happens.
Shorts and t'shirts, sure why not I doubt that if you'd been wearing wet suits that you w'ld have been any better off! You can see why the ancients really didn't need knives when they only needed to find a lava field for their cutlery or spear points or arrowheads sets.
They have NO idea of the fact that high viscosity lava could break through the lava front at ANY time. People are too close! A serious accident is more or less a given at this point.
You don't think driving is more dangerous ? They have every idea and i am sure they have a feel for what's solid and what is not . Like ice skating on a lake ? All this drama talk is hilarious . I mean could not an eruption open up anywhere ? Or an unexpected explosive event ?
@fitzy magee So many sanctimonious virtue signalers on here! (Karen's) LIVING is for the brave and adventurous! MERE EXISTENCE is for the condescending "safe".
It reminds me of a trip I took to Geysir. There were people thrusting their hands into the scalding water, shrieking with surprise and pain, and then going to the next steaming hole and doing the same thing again
And now where you are walking, or close by is overrun with lava down to Natthagi. Everyone seriously underrated the amount of lava flowing out of this. Great footage, even with ‘bulletproof’ idiots or ‘possibly flameproof,’ interrupting your videos. Hopefully it won’t happen again. It would be terrible if they deny access. But it might become necessary. After all, so many people are sue happy and would gladly go after the government. ‘You didn’t tell us not to walk on the hot lava. You need warnings that even if it’s cool it’s dangerous. We couldn’t figure that out for ourselves.’ Thank you so much as always for bringing us along with you. I love go for walks by the volcano with you. Hugs from Canada
Im from Tenerife, a very volcanic island, As a teen I once climbed a small volcanic vent that last erupted hundreds of years ago, and on my way back down, I could feel how bits of rock were cracking under me, I was walking on hollow sections, lava tubes maybe, and felt pretty worried, I was extremely careful about where I stood. Guys, no matter how fresh or old lava may be, if you are not given permission to walk on it DONT DO IT, you can get seriously hurt
@@JayTor2112 your stupid! Some people (actually millions) have to wear one everywhere they go due to a lung disease, new transplant patient or a cancer patient! I’m one of them! You probably text and drive!
I LOVE your work!!! I just have one request, please try panning slow and steady, it's very hard on the eyes when you move back and forth quickly. Thank you!🥰
oh see, that's tempting. I love me some rockhounding adventures, but yeah i dunno. I think I'm okay off visiting volcanos in real life. I'm enjoying my guy's footage here just fine. 😏😎
I grew up with the many eruptions of Mauna Loa and Kīlauea on the island of Hawaii and have been witness to their many activities since the 1940s. The current eruption that you have been filming is very reminiscent of Hawaiian eruptions. Your filming and your comments have been accurate and very informative. They are interesting and unrushed. Your scenes are excellent as is your lighting. Mahalo!!
I'm sure it will become clearer in the next video where the lava crossed trail A because looking at this footage, I can't see how after just 17 hours (according to the previous video) it climbed so much that it cut the trail. I still think it must be amazing to be there. Thanks for keeping us updated.
It didn't climb that much from the lava flow that went over the eastern and western wall into Natthagi valley. A new flow started running down the hill from the Geldingadalir Valley. The flow is running down about midway of Natthagi valley on the left side. 👍🇺🇲🇩🇪🙋♀️.
I thought it was fantastic!! He'll have that story to tell forever with video proof! LIVING is for the brave, but MERE EXISTENCE is for the sniveling sanctimonious critics with nothing better to do than criticize the adventurous. It's called Virtue Signaling.
I had a last look at the volcano last night before going to bed, but I was stopped in my tracks when I saw that there is was no break in the lava flow from the crater its volume had increased. I watched until after midnight but then I had to go to sleep as I had work in the morning. I got up early and came downstairs to watch the volcano again and still the lava was flowing from the vent. There must almost be a lake of molten lava beneath the hard surface by now and there seems to be little indication of where it's going. I suppose like any lake, it can only fill so far before it starts to spill out - somewhere. But this is not water and I hope visitors will keep that in mind before they step on to one of the flows. There have been severe accidents at Yellowstone Park with small numbers of visitors not adhering to warning signs and getting into a lot of hot water. I so, so hope this doesn't happen at the eruption. Please enjoy, but at a safe distance. Best wishes, Paul - Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
Thank you very much for all your videos. I watch them every day from the South of France. It is at the same time fascinating and frightening. We will try to come in September over a few days to be able to see this spectacle of nature, hoping that the unconscious (and stupid) who walk on the lava do not force the authorities to ban access to the site outright.
I have to thank you once again Roman💖 💖 💖 for making these little documentaries even tho' you are working at the moment! I have NEVER watched or followed the progress of any volcano like I have been able to follow this amazing event since before it happened. I followed the Reykjavik Grapevine for 2 or 3 weeks because they said this event was imminent and they have also documented this well, I also recommend that channel to everyone!. But your day by day, step by step videos have made me feel like I'm right there with you even tho' I'm on the opposite side of the planet, you ask the questions I would ask and I love that you play with bananas,cans of s/drinks and and others . . . just to see what you will see! 🤣 🤣 I hope that you are s/how getting some financial rewards for your efforts, but if not I have read other ppl.s wishes that they could help you in some way, perhaps by setting up a 'go fund me site?' . . .In any case do not delete any of your footage's because I think you could combine them make a documentary series detailing how this event unfolded for posterity! Some might say day by day descriptions of events is like watching grass grow but I think many more would find it a fascinating adventure as have I! Bless you and your lovely wife Nina. Actually it's so nice to see that she seems as interested in this as much as we are.
Eventually someone is going to go through the lava. Unfortunately, it's the only way some people learn! They've only got to step in the wrong place and the result could be serious injury or death. Praying that it doesn't happen but you can't fix stupid!
You can't fix stupid comments either or sanctimonious virtue signalers. If it's dangerous to walk on, the heat would keep you away. Once it's cooled, its solid. But hey, enjoy your safe condescending life behind your keyboard.
@@digitalSixer yeah, I agree,if it was so dangerous there wouldn't be all of the scientists out there ,collecting samples. Especially the volcanology professors, They're like ants out there on the solid lava vents. Obviously it's as safe as houses. The builders will be building by next week. Maybe a theme park would be a great idea. You're right. They're just scaredy cats. When are you going out onto the lava field👍👍👍🏴
I was here for a few days a week ago. It was an amazing experience (I posted some video here and will post more soon). I didn't walk on any lava, but I was at this spot many times, and very close to expanding flows in other areas. In this area the lava moves very slowly in general (I never saw active flow here, but I missed the recent breakout into the valley that cut the main trail). When the lava is moving, its obvious from the sound (it sounds like glass breaking). Likewise when lava breaks out as "springs" in the solid mass, it's very obvious from the sound, and heat. Getting very close to such areas is practically impossible due to the heat. So in general, what they are doing here, while not sensible, is actually not that dangerous. More dangerous would be getting close to very hot rapidly flowing sources, which can overflow channels and change directly unpredictably depending on the velocity of the flow upstream. That said, walking any distance over the lava field here is definitely not advisable, because of the risk of breaking through an area of thin crust over a tube, into the hot lava below. The lava itself often forms as stacks of thin plates, and is surprisingly fragile.
Happy for you that you got to experience that in person. Lucky for us that can't be there, we have Mr. Ramon, alias Gutn Tog and his charming wife Nina. Your description confirms that he brings us as close to the real thing as can possibly be done.
You do understand that some of that crust is super thin and you can fall straight through it into a hole ?? It doesn’t even have to have molten lava below, the injuries you’d get just from cutting your self on the sharp edges would be bad enough.
@@makkyd123 Colin, I don't see where you wrought what Linda is saying. You didn't mention the injuries due to the cuting action of sharp lava on flesh. Or did you ?
3:57 Why the hell would anyone take her toddler to a volcano field? The same sort of person who would climb up to the edge of a roaring volcano for "that perfect picture." I'm sure the baby will remember this visit for the rest of its life ......
Those two on the lava may be from a university. They have some kind of equipment. Perhaps getting chemical samples and measurements. In other footage you posted there is a guy in a white suit on an unburnt hill surrounded an all four sides with lava who must have got their either by helicopter or over the lava with special volcanologists shoes. More or less insulated snow shoes. These are also used in steel works.
I'm from the US here, I wouldn'tve gone out there unless I had a good dam reason for doing it. Like the pursuit of science and discovery...I'd have brought some samples and real close up pictures back. Wouldn'tve been for the simple thrill. But thats just me. And walking on the close edge of the cool lava is not the same as running out to the edge of the volcano. (I wonder how the daredevils shoes faired....)(and wouldn't some people like to know the path he took?..minefield of public opinion or the volcano...ya know, the volcano has better odds)
There was a vid on YT, briefly, about consequences. A woman jumped into Mauna Loa. Quick scream, gone. Someone monster video'd and posted it. About 5 minutes later YT took it down. Spotted woman in pink on lava. My breath froze for a moment.

Has this type of volcano happened like this before, but just not covered by the media ? I think this volcano has gotten more media coverage than any other volcano anywhere. It’s great you are showing it to us so many times. Thank you !!!
@@goldreverre For potentially requiring the rescue workers to put themselves at risk. Plus, the public is permitted to enjoy this one in a lifetime experience because the private owner of the property allows it. This land is owned by a farmer. It's not public property. Freedom of choice brings with it an AWESOME responsibility for how our actions effect and shape our community at large.
I can't understand how these people could be so stupid as far as they have today so many information about volcanos eruptions and this one particulary many thanks to do your utmost to let us know full of geologic information about added to your stunning videos : it's like we would there !!! keep you safe sincerely from Paris 🌋 💕🗼💕
This proves that inconsequential people have all over the place, then when an accident happens it is the fault of the authorities who did not warn that they were walking on a shell....
I say let people do what they want to do and take their risks. Enough of the nannying controlling! Grown up people must take responsibility for their actions.
the problem is the actions of the thoughtless few, have major repercussions for the many. Somebody gets severely injured there (or possibly dies), the government then shuts down any and all access to the area for everybody. No more vids, nor general research, for the general public.
Not sure how risky it is to walk on it. The cooled lava weighs many tons in even a small area. The weight of a person on it wouldn't constitute even a rounding error of additional weight. A trip on that rock though and you're probably going to get some pretty good sized cuts and scrapes.
If they charged an entrance fee they could fund emergency teams for the weekend. I would shout at people to get off the lava , if they tell me to mind my own business at least I have informed them of the real danger ! I do it in Dorset when people climb on the cliffs , it’s very dangerous; most times they have not thought about it because we live in such benign environments.
When they fall through the Crust , that will be Instant Regret for them .... I just feel sorry for all those who are doing the right thing but as they say it only take's one Rotten Apple to spoil the Barrel ???? Then the Authorities will step in & no one will be allowed to be as close as they are now , some people just don't get it as they thing that the crust will hold their weight & that the surface is solid enough to hold them , I live here in Australia , have never seen a Volcano in real life & I am content to just watch it on RUclips out of harm's way , thank you for showing someone like myself the wonder's of Nature on your Island ...
It will only take one person who thinks they know best to walk on the lava and suffer the consequences for others to be more respectful of it. Why should others risk their health in order to save those who do not take notice?????
I like the way the locals there pronounce words that end with "ed". The man said "fill-ed" instead of "filled". It's not a criticism just an observation.
It’s very difficult for folks from countries with a phonetic language, where every individual letter is pronounced the same whatever the circumstances. It’s like that here in Romania… Greetings 🇷🇴🇬🇧👍🏻
Too bad Darwin doesn't effect keyboard fearmongers. I've hiked volcanoes and lava tubes. With the proper gear, such as gloves, etc. it's fine. Stop with the sniveling sanctimony.
Just not smart to walk on a field of fresh lava. You don't know where the lava tubes are, and it could collapse on you, and then you'd be instantly vaporized in a river of lava.
The whole valley is covered by dark color lava - a new landscape not for tourists ! Assume inside lava is still Hot and dangerous and the smoke and smell is strong enough - but unprepared tourist don't care. Sad ! Thank you for your wonderful video !🌋👍
Stop trying to control other people? Maybe people should mind they own business. I always wanted to walk on hot lava.. call me whatever you want but don't call me late for dinner
I'd be recording them, and talking SO LOUDLY... "look audience, HERE IS ANOTHER DANGEROUS MORON! This might be their final moments alive here with us on planet Earth." Ask them for their name, and a few things about them, for posterity sake. Garnish more views, educate the youth how to avoid being dangerous and stupid.
But what can you do to reason with a bunch of youthie-boys accepting outrageous dares (that would never be paid anyway) to do some ill-advised fire walking to impress their mates and their females? And please, nobody commit to certain fiery doom by trying to rescue them.
Just put out a message, WE WONT HELP STUPID PEOPLE. Done, normal people enjoy, stupid people get hurt or die. And the vulcano will keep doing its vulcano stuff. Good day.
Sad thing is that the I don't care attitude of one individual has a high cost and all kinds of negative consequences for the rest of the community. The freedom we enjoy today is an AWESOME responsibility.
Exactly! Life is for the adventurous and brave, while mere existence is for the safe and sanctimonious commenters who never leave from behind their keyboards!
The 'oh no' video was a good one with a guy standing at the edge on lava, but the guy running away from the flow at the mouth of the volcano is the worst I have seen yet. this now seems quite lame by comparison. It's all stupid of course.
@@tokonjudo I was agreeing with you. You should read all the sniveling comments on this video. Lots and lots of condescending sanctimony about people's safety from people who probably never leave their keyboards. Lol

@@whitsundaydreamingaustralia Hi Linda - totally agree as you would see if you had read my comment all the way to the end.
@@makkyd123 Colin, I don't see where you wrought what Linda is saying. You didn't mention the injuries due to the cuting action of sharp lava on flesh. Or did you ?
I don't understand why people spend so much energy being sanctimonious fearmongers over other's safety.
How long since this lava was molten.
do you have a crystal council , where you are not allowed to take the crystal rocks home. ?
They say stupidity is 75% universal.
What is the lava temp?
Such stupidity of some people and young children too. So careless
That little kid. ugh
How far does the lava flow. It looks as it is kilometers from the actual vulcano
Without people like this we wouldn't ever evolve.
Some of these people really want to win a Darwin Award, smh.
I wouldn't walk on it. I would be too paranoid about falling through and suffering a loud, obnoxious death.
Have those 'walls' now disapeared below the spreading lava field ¿?
Next they will be taking naps on it because it's "surprisingly warm".
🤣🤣🤣
mmm,now you have given me a idea :)
3:57 Why the hell would anyone take her toddler to a volcano field? The same sort of person who would climb up to the edge of a roaring volcano for "that perfect picture." I'm sure the baby will remember this visit for the rest of its life ......
For sure!!!!!
all that fresh air!
Those were Danish!:) The most happy people on Earth:)
Enjoyed your comment! Very true! Apparently, Babies / Small Children / Animals are closer to the ground so more at risk re. dangerous gases. 🙄
It isn't harming the child. The parents are being careful.
Bloody hell just when you thought people couldn't get any dumber. This happens 😂🤣
Those two on the lava may be from a university. They have some kind of equipment. Perhaps getting chemical samples and measurements. In other footage you posted there is a guy in a white suit on an unburnt hill surrounded an all four sides with lava who must have got their either by helicopter or over the lava with special volcanologists shoes. More or less insulated snow shoes. These are also used in steel works.
You need a wind cover on your mic. Keep sending us videos. Thank you.
He uses his Samsung 21 Ultra. Do they make wind covers for phones?
And to hold the camera for more than .5 of a second when he's trying to show the 'crystals'!
...and, of course, the cone walker was from the US. Unsurprising, but still disappointing and embarrassing for (the sane people of) my country.
I'm from the US here, I wouldn'tve gone out there unless I had a good dam reason for doing it. Like the pursuit of science and discovery...I'd have brought some samples and real close up pictures back. Wouldn'tve been for the simple thrill. But thats just me. And walking on the close edge of the cool lava is not the same as running out to the edge of the volcano. (I wonder how the daredevils shoes faired....)(and wouldn't some people like to know the path he took?..minefield of public opinion or the volcano...ya know, the volcano has better odds)
There was a vid on YT, briefly, about consequences.
A woman jumped into Mauna Loa. Quick scream, gone.
Someone monster video'd and posted it.
About 5 minutes later YT took it down.
Spotted woman in pink on lava. My breath froze for a moment.
@@veramae4098 YT takes it down, and people continue doing the same, thinking it is safe.
I'm American and I was proud and envious. He'll have a story to tell forever and proof! Life is for the brave and adventurous. Mere existence is for safe and sanctimonious keyboard warriors who never leave their house.
I'm embarrassed that you're American. "Home of the BRAVE" remember?
@@digitalSixer There is a line between brave and stupid called arrogance.
I am waiting for the news report of somebody burning himself for walking on them lava crusts.
Has this type of volcano happened like this before, but just not covered by the media ? I think this volcano has gotten more media coverage than any other volcano anywhere. It’s great you are showing it to us so many times. Thank you !!!
Kilauea a couple of years ago was fully covered. If you are interested go to the channel of Apau Hawaii Tours. He lived close by and filmed daily.
Did the police arrested the guy that got caught climbing the volcano?
arrest for what? walking?
@@goldreverre For potentially requiring the rescue workers to put themselves at risk. Plus, the public is permitted to enjoy this one in a lifetime experience because the private owner of the property allows it. This land is owned by a farmer. It's not public property. Freedom of choice brings with it an AWESOME responsibility for how our actions effect and shape our community at large.
People usually have a "But it won't happen to me attitude." And so they put themselves in harm's way.
Perhaps some of those odd 'human like' lava formations are the charred remains of idiots who 'walked on lava'?!
Alternate video headline: real-time demonstration of natural selection
The green crystals are peridot, a “precious” stone. Surprised that people are not mining the green lava with geology hammers.
Nope wrong mineral.
Olivine i believe. Semi precious... I believe there's a beach of it in Hawaii?
Natural selection at its best!!!
Only a matter of time and someone will be seriously hurt.
I can't understand how these people could be so stupid as far as they have today so many information about volcanos eruptions
and this one particulary
many thanks to do your utmost to let us know full of geologic information about added to your stunning videos : it's like we would there !!! keep you safe sincerely from Paris 🌋 💕🗼💕
This proves that inconsequential people have all over the place, then when an accident happens it is the fault of the authorities who did not warn that they were walking on a shell....
Please, is there anywhere I may buy a small. Bit of lava with embedded crystals?
Sure. Google: Iceland lava crystals or similar words
A long list shows up.
Retired librarian, Michigan / U.S.
Whatare they doing on the lava. They risk there is a tube underneath
It's all fun & games until someone gets eaten by lava.🌋
I say let people do what they want to do and take their risks. Enough of the nannying controlling! Grown up people must take responsibility for their actions.
the problem is the actions of the thoughtless few, have major repercussions for the many. Somebody gets severely injured there (or possibly dies), the government then shuts down any and all access to the area for everybody. No more vids, nor general research, for the general public.
I agree, bang a few signs up, danger of death or whatever, and leave them to it.
The people 'testing'the lava haven't got the sense they were born with! Words fail me!!
Not sure how risky it is to walk on it. The cooled lava weighs many tons in even a small area. The weight of a person on it wouldn't constitute even a rounding error of additional weight. A trip on that rock though and you're probably going to get some pretty good sized cuts and scrapes.
I have enjoyed your reports, most of the others aren't as accurate as you
when playing the floor is lava one must remember to get to the higher ground and not be like anakin skywalker...
It's just going to take one idiot getting hurt or dying to ruin it for everyone else. This is ALWAYS the way it is.
If they charged an entrance fee they could fund emergency teams for the weekend. I would shout at people to get off the lava , if they tell me to mind my own business at least I have informed them of the real danger ! I do it in Dorset when people climb on the cliffs , it’s very dangerous; most times they have not thought about it because we live in such benign environments.
People are idiots
Won’t be long before we hear someone fell through...or lavender surfaced around them..... 🤦🏼♀️
How to spot the tourist = they are the ones walking on lava
How do you know that the lava is not filled with carcinogenic chemicals ?
Oh it is. No worries ;)
It definitely is giving off plenty of dangerous gases.
Are those diamonds? People qere finding diamonds after the Hawaii eruptions. The police will be keeping people away if that's the case.
The Darwin Awards chapter for 2021 is going to be huge...
When they fall through the Crust , that will be Instant Regret for them .... I just feel sorry for all those who are doing the right thing but as they say it only take's one Rotten Apple to spoil the Barrel ????
Then the Authorities will step in & no one will be allowed to be as close as they are now , some people just don't get it as they thing that the crust will hold their weight & that the surface is solid enough to hold them , I live here in Australia , have never seen a Volcano in real life & I am content to just watch it on RUclips out of harm's way , thank you for showing someone like myself the wonder's of Nature on your Island ...
It will only take one person who thinks they know best to walk on the lava and suffer the consequences for others to be more respectful of it. Why should others risk their health in order to save those who do not take notice?????
I like the way the locals there pronounce words that end with "ed". The man said "fill-ed" instead of "filled". It's not a criticism just an observation.
It’s very difficult for folks from countries with a phonetic language, where every individual letter is pronounced the same whatever the circumstances. It’s like that here in Romania… Greetings 🇷🇴🇬🇧👍🏻
It cracks me up too! Like when they also ad an "s" to words that are already plural like "footages" LOL.
@@clivehorridge It's just the way they do things and that is great! As I mentioned, it isn't a criticism. Just an observation. Cheers =]
Looks like a couple lava tubes there
The Darwin awards are going to be busy this year!
I can't wait to hear about that award... lol. Probably be an American Karen... 😆
Karen won’t die, just dye, but these people walking on lava will never breed again.
Too bad Darwin doesn't effect keyboard fearmongers. I've hiked volcanoes and lava tubes. With the proper gear, such as gloves, etc. it's fine. Stop with the sniveling sanctimony.
@TommY SmittY Don't be a sniveling sanctimonious Karen. If the lava is unsafe it's also TOO HOT to go near.
@TommY SmittY have you even watched the videos and how SLOW the lava moves?
Enjoy your sanctimony, hope it makes you happy.
Darwin award in the making...
Just not smart to walk on a field of fresh lava. You don't know where the lava tubes are, and it could collapse on you, and then you'd be instantly vaporized in a river of lava.
Looks Like Big Steam, Trapped steam ka-boom
if ppl want to learn the hard way let them then, that is up to the ppl who are daring
Let's play a game of "Who can avoid accidentally stepping on uncooled lava the longest."
they never played 'the floor is lava' in school...
The whole valley is covered by dark color lava - a new landscape not for tourists ! Assume inside lava is still Hot and dangerous and the smoke and smell is strong enough - but unprepared tourist don't care. Sad ! Thank you for your wonderful video !🌋👍
Anyone selling lava on ebay yet?
Stop trying to control other people? Maybe people should mind they own business.
I always wanted to walk on hot lava.. call me whatever you want but don't call me late for dinner
Can't fix stupid.....feel sorry for the first responders having to pick bodies out of that stuff 😩
There wouldn’t be anything left to pick out.
Amen 🙏
The floor is made of lava..
I don't like to say, but you have foreign tourists now. Local people wouldn't act that way.
You could wait for this, if one goes hundreds other wil follow, and then, someone wil go true.and help is Many Miles away,also water for cooling.
I would be yelling at them to get off the lava and to stop being idiots!
I'd be recording them, and talking SO LOUDLY... "look audience, HERE IS ANOTHER DANGEROUS MORON! This might be their final moments alive here with us on planet Earth." Ask them for their name, and a few things about them, for posterity sake. Garnish more views, educate the youth how to avoid being dangerous and stupid.
But what can you do to reason with a bunch of youthie-boys accepting outrageous dares (that would never be paid anyway) to do some ill-advised fire walking to impress their mates and their females? And please, nobody commit to certain fiery doom by trying to rescue them.
Ok, Karen.
If something happens, someone falls in... They'll shut it down and ruin it for all.
Exact
Just put out a message, WE WONT HELP STUPID PEOPLE. Done, normal people enjoy, stupid people get hurt or die. And the vulcano will keep doing its vulcano stuff. Good day.
No they won't, Karen.
They know the dangers and they just don't care, leave them be and let them enjoy the Adrenaline of living life on the edge 👍👍👍
Never once heard a person who got off on "life on the edge" who had to be rescued complain about having their life saved.
Sad thing is that the I don't care attitude of one individual has a high cost and all kinds of negative consequences for the rest of the community. The freedom we enjoy today is an AWESOME responsibility.
Exactly! Life is for the adventurous and brave, while mere existence is for the safe and sanctimonious commenters who never leave from behind their keyboards!
The 'oh no' video was a good one with a guy standing at the edge on lava, but the guy running away from the flow at the mouth of the volcano is the worst I have seen yet. this now seems quite lame by comparison. It's all stupid of course.
Anything for a selfie. Life be damned.
So many sniveling sanctimonious fearmongerers in the comments.
@@digitalSixer Why have you written this following my innocent statement. noone will see it here.
@@tokonjudo I was agreeing with you. You should read all the sniveling comments on this video. Lots and lots of condescending sanctimony about people's safety from people who probably never leave their keyboards. Lol
@@digitalSixer Oh right I see. Yes that's the modern issue, Too many dunning krugers :)
This land is mine...says lava
Don't stop them. You reap what you see in life
Reap what you sew
Hmm, those people with risky behavior might have drink one too many Einstok.
There was somone who was walking om the side crator of the volcano. Anyways some people must really wanna play "Floor is Lava" for reals...
