Man Dies
At The World Sauna Competition After 6 Minutes In A 230F Oven. Strange.
Turkeys Usually Go Into 325F Ovens
Sad that he basted away his life like this
Two men,
Vladimir Ladyzhensky of Russia, and Timo Kaukonen of Finland, were both
determined to outlast the other at the "World Sauna Competition," held
in Heinola, Finland. They roasted in a 230F (110C) oven for 6 minutes.
The
competition ended when Ladyzhensky died and Kaukonen collapsed and
needed to be rushed to the hospital.
Water boils at 212F at sea level (100C). 230F well exceeds the point at
which flesh burns and blood boils. The dumb thing about
this competition is that there is a physics enforced limit to the world
record possibility. Attempting to exceed this limit results in death or
severe injury.
One witness said both were badly burned when removed from the sauna.
Kaukonen, we suppose, is the winner? He must feel very proud of himself?
Reminds me of the song, "The Winner," by Bobby Bare (below).
