Who can stay in a heated sauna for the longest time. Is this a really really stupid competition or what? The guy who died had severe burns on his skin. The other guy also ended up in hospital but survived.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueI suspect the guy will be found out to have a heart condition or something else totally unrelated to sauna. (one doctor is suggesting they may have taken painkillers to stand the heat. we'll see when the autopsy report comes out.)

there's a sauna in every finnish home, and millions of people have been competing in who's the last man standing, for hundreds of years. nobody has ever died because of it. on the contrary its health benefits are widely known.
blaming sauna for what happened is like blaming beds for people dying in their sleep.
people die, old people especially. sitting in the bog, having sex, taking a nap, watching tv. it happens. when the time's up the time's up.
