This guy was in Phoenix, AZ. The pavement he fell on was bare minimum that hot this summer. Multiple people, including kids had severe burns after falling this year.
The biggest problem is it isn’t instant. Every try to stand up by pushing your hands down on 100°C pavement? How about when you fall hard on your side and then the skin on your leg, as you try to stand, sticks and doesn’t come up with the rest of you? It’s pretty fuckin brutal.
You think can there be anything much worse than being in a motorcycle crash? Yeah, being seriously injured in a motorcycle crash, stuck laying on the asphalt in Phoenix in the Summer. Like cooking in a frying pan.
Yeah, I was wondering as well, if there’s something more to it.
If my cup of tea is at 70°C, that does burn my tongue, but that’s in particular, because water conducts heat very well. I guess, if it’s very smooth asphalt and he gets full contact with naked skin, then it would conduct heat well, too…
Not really hot enough to burn you instantly if you fall on it, usually only if you lose consciousness. Could be a heat stroke or something else.

Motorcycle will even peel the skin off for you.
And here I was looking forward to the crispy skin :(
