I was going to say this must've been a super quick way to go and was near-instant but now you have me wondering.

I can't imagine that the leidenfrost effect is enough to actually suspend your whole body. I have to believe you'd just turbo sink and be dead before you had time to register the heat, at that level.

You definitely wouldn't sink. The body is less dense than the metal, ie you would float. There's videos all over if probe sticking their fingers and/or hands into molten metal and the moisture on the skin protects it, at least for a moment.

Definitely didn’t trip. He walked straight into it.

Well shit. That's fucked up.

Imagine jumping in there thinking you're going to sink and die instantly and you just kinda go THUD and start boiling.

I would have thought you'd just inflate like a balloon and explode...

Since the body is mostly liquid it would do this for a few seconds. Also even though it's molten, metal is so dense that you would easily float on it and would strugglr to sink even if you tried, so even if he jumped in there he most likely stayed on the surface where the effect i told you about would protect him for a few second until the heat can catch up to his flesh.

You see the flash and "explosion", right? The heat is so intense you more or less explode. There are other videos showing this as well from either people jumping in and being caught on camera or things like someone throwing a water bottle into molten metals or trash in a volcano. It causes a violent "explosion".

Yes, the molten metals are more dense than water but it's also simply so hot you would more or less be simply vaporized by just how intense the reaction would be. It's not like he was skidding around like butter on a skillet until he fully melted. The liquids inside of him would have turned to gases nearly immediately.

There are old news archives you can read that talk about Refineries and industrial accidents where a car filled with molten "xyz" broke loose and fell on top of the workers and covered them with molten metals.

There's also videos on here that show people getting immolated when an failure happens and you can definitely see the molten chunks stick to them.

The easiest reference of this is the guy waving his hand through a stream of molten aluminum (I think) and it's not natural moisture, he covers his hand in water and it can only be done VERY quickly to avoid serious injury.

These effects and density videos about "what if" are fun thought experiments where you basically assume the person is ONLY experiencing the effect in question (Leidenfrost Effect) but the reality is closer to if the metal is hot enough and you jump into a molten vat, you basically are vaporized because the heat is so intense all your gases and liquids expand nearly instantly.
