Apparently this is the most read news article on BBC:s website today.
110C is a little too much imo. I usually enjoy 80-90 degrees, and if I spend too much time there I get very dizzy and stuff. These guys went super hardcore with their challenge :D
Just watched the local news (Nelosen), this year's was the last one :frown:
Good god, thats 230f, and I thought 83f was bad.
[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk;23902666]Pfft been in sauna in 110 C' heat. but not a long time.
Anyway its an extreme "sport" so you can pretty much predict casualties.[/QUOTE]
You know what Celsius means, right?
Saunas are usually around 90-100 degrees, but they're usually very dry. I think it was the steam that did it.
They must have nostrils like copper pipes because that shit must burn

Yeah the article mentioned that.
[QUOTE]The event, which had over 130 participants from 15 countries, had been held since 1999. [B]The organisers said it would never be held again.[/B][/QUOTE]
That is some hardcore shit....I think it's fucking crazy but at the same time I wonder if I could last like a minute. Even in in something a little cooler, like 99C or something. I'd be proud of myself if I could.
Funny, [url=http://www.potters.org/subject25597.htm]the boiling point of blood is 96.8°C[/url]...
He definitely couldn't take the heat (as his insides were being fucking cooked and his blood boiled :gonk:)

Anyone who completed seventh grade chemistry can understand the difference between boiling water in a metal pot at 100C and sitting in an air-filled room at 100C

Damn, you got me :v:
Still, it would be pretty effin' hot and definitely not good for you :/

It's very good for you. What doesn't kill you only makes you str-
fuck
I don't get this. I hate sauna's, i can't breathe in them at all.

They're just stupidly uncomfortable.
Wow, they get a new skin after they have been in 120 Celsius?
[QUOTE=ripsipiirakk;23902890]
Oh and yes that is skin in the last picture.[/QUOTE]
better one

eugh
(am I the only one who thought of the ghouls in FO3?)
Did he learn nothing from the sauna bit in Hitman?
I wanna know who thought up a [U]sauna[/U] contest.. seriously.
If i remember correctly they were there for six minutes.
I can't understand how you can stay in 110 degree heat that long. I thought that even 60 degree heat would kill you within a couple of minutes.
Attention thread readers!!
Learn about heat conducting! One can easily stay in 80C sauna for a while. One would die quick if submerged in 80C water.
Heart about it yesterday, his blood boiled or something, it's gotta hurt like fuck...
I use my sauna everyday.
110 celsius isn't THAT bad actually, but the fact they put a bucket of water on the rocks every 30 seconds makes it 100 times worse.
Video of said event.

That looked like an oversized oven, I can't believe the other guy survived!!
[QUOTE=CanadianBill;23902425]That's a stupid contest.[/QUOTE]
So is running around in a big circle to see who lasts the longest.
[QUOTE=NickFury6;23902715]I don't get their culture and Saunas. Is it more of a social thing? or does the cold there usually require nearly every household to have a really humid and hot room.[/QUOTE]
Social thing, and it feels pretty damn great. I usually don't bother going when I have the chance though, I just got tired of it. Too much sitting and concentrating on sweating I guess.
[QUOTE=Callius;23903595]I've been in west africa when it's 55C, I doubt that compares to 110C, seeing as water would be boiling at that temprature too.[/QUOTE]
55C in west Africa air humidity would be worse.
[QUOTE=zenith777;23904134]This is the reason why every sauna should have a temperature of 80-95 celsius.[/QUOTE]
Let's make our cars travel at 20mph for safety
[QUOTE=NO ONE;23924428]Yeah the article mentioned that.

99C isn't THAT impressive. While I'm not one for saunas that much, even I could take that temperature.
Why are they canceling the contest though? You'd think eventually there WOULD be a fatality. That just seems necessary. They could take a break for a couple years or something.
I've been in a Sauna which was over 100 degrees celcius. Under a minute though, and water hadn't been thrown so the heat didn't conduct that bad.
You are not Finnish if you haven't been in Sauna once in your life.
