This is awful
A terrifying simulation has revealed what happened to a man who suffered a fatal fall into a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park.
On June 7, 2016, Colin Scott and his sister Sable from Oregon broke the rules when they hiked into the park’s Porkchop Geyser to find a place to ‘hot pot’.
‘Hot potting’ is the illegal practice of swimming in one of the park’s thermal features.
According to The Guardian, the 23-year-old was reportedly walking on the boardwalk of Norris Geyser Basin when he dipped his finger in to check the water temperature when he slipped and fell into the scorching hot spring.
His sister, who had no service on her phone, ran towards a nearby museum to inform the park warden about the accident.
However, by the time she returned, all that was left in the hot spring was her brother’s head, upper torso and hands.
A YouTuber, Zack D. Films, has uploaded a horrific simulation that depicts what may have happened to Colin.
The content creator explains: “The hot water caused severe burns as soon as he fell in but the water also contained acid.
“After five minutes the heat would have caused him to go into shock.”
The YouTuber said the water was ‘too hot’ to reach Colin’s body, however, it was reported at the time that the late man’s body could not be recovered safely due to the ‘volatile’ nature of the thermal area and an incoming lightning storm.
The video explains that the acid and heat caused his body to dissolve.
The Mirror reported that at the time rescuers attempted to retrieve the man’s body the pool measured a temperature of 212F.
Yellowstone’s deputy chief ranger Lorant Veress told KULR 8: “There’s a closure in place to protect people from doing that for their own safety. It’s a very unforgiving environment.”
This latest video from Zack D. Films comes after he recently revealed a simulation of what happens to the brain when we die.
