Standing this close to an active volcano is a great way to catch a hot rock to the ol' meat wagon. Thankfully, all they caught this day was incredible footage.

Acatenango in Guatemala
ObliqueRay
There is a lot of fucking around here.
Bex316
Some people have never taken a glowing molten boulder the size of a refrigerator to the face, and it shows.

lol guy sat through the whole thing
Isometimestakethingsliterally
That's really fucking close.
verbeckpaul1960
It amazes me how some people can be absolute morons! I’m sure if one of them had gotten hurt they would’ve blamed the volcano!
captainfakeypants
each one of those little yellow dots is a quarter-ton blob of instant death falling towards you at ~200mph.

I have a feeling that this isn't quite as close as it looks, between how deceptive distance can be with mountains and the camera effect.
ManOfKent1967
It's also squashed in from the sides.

When the professional Vulcanologists wouldn’t go there, why would you? ⬇️

To get those sweet 'gram pics!

It's weird to me: The Earth is this 8000-mile wide ball of seething, red-hot 2000oF magma covered by an 18-mile thick onion-skin crust...

... and we're not all walking around going "oo ahh ooo ahh hot hot hot..."

Do they know they can set up a GoPro and skedaddle? Like, you did your brave thing, now run.
WhiteBoyWhoLovesHommus
Why are they not running??
klean9
They'll have a nice video to play at their funerals

How far away you should stay from a volcano hugely depends on the type of volcano. Hawaiian? 15 meters is fine, just watch where you walk.>
MachineInterface
Plinian? 10 miles is probably still too close.
joleeen
I love reading the title twice
elBirdnose
Just love how often I see these videos and yet only rarely do the people in them realize they're potentially in danger. Idiots. All of them.

They guys at the front with the flash on

Guides tell you if stuff is raining down to walk away backwards so you can watch and dodge anything coming for you.
slidewhistlesymphony
OK...time to GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
Pensionar
Some people pay to go on a trip to volcanoes, some post about someone's death.

Is this where the merciless peppers of Acatenango are grown? Are these the inmates of the Guatemalan insane asylum that grow them?
Heroofhtelance
Back for more, eh? Well sure! It's not my job to talk people out of killing themselves.
RichardHardley
They do not care that volcanoes kill 500 people each year.
djgrom
Interesting. So I have a greater chance of being killed by a volcano than a shark. not sure what to do with this information now.
TrixNStix
PSA: Remember, volcanoes are predators that use sight & hearing to hunt. Tourists are most in danger @ dawn & dusk, the volcanic feedng time
georgedragonslayer
That's even more than sharks. But less than vending machines.
TheRealRhodry
I'll go one step further and say these are the types of people volcanoes kill every year. JFC

So who has the ring?

The cock ring of power is MINE~! you have it back after I was it.

When the guides take off runnin, FOLLOW THEM.

austinwizardforhire
Shit, I'd beat them down the mountain, soon as that thing started smoking you'd see my big ass RUNNING
HardDoseOfReality
And miss this once in a lifetime shot? Pfft
fishbicyclerepairman
Hell, when the Instagramers start running you should already be gone
Alomega
If you ever see a EOD guy (bomb squad) running… FOLLOW WITH HASTE!
5amNonsense
A sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on. An ordnance tech at a dead sprint outranks everybody.
Blze001
IED guys at my base had shirts that said "If I'm running, either a keg has been tapped, or something is seriously wrong."
5amNonsense
Either way, sounds like you should follow them
ArithmeticFascist
Saw the broken, old, no PT, two knee brace SGT in a full sprint in Iraq. Ran the same direction he was. It was a smoking WP mortar.
DidItForScience
Is this a Schlock Mercenary reference, or a universal military maxim that the vet writer of the comic repurposed?
5amNonsense
I know it from Schlock but it may well be older than that
HiddenSanity
This one is more the maxim before Schlock Mercenary, I've hear similar phrasings prior to the internet.
IFoldlyGo
And pranking by an ordnance tech to see how many will follow is frowned upon
TresusIbor
But funny as hell
