My neighbor who is an adventurist went out to Death Valley 2-3 years ago when it was supposed to be near record temps just to experience it. He said it was hot as expected (about 130º) but that it was something that you just don't experience in life much, if once. I thought he was foolish since any failure could have been disastrous. I'm not sure what his back up plan was, but he's a doctor and a smart guy (I think) so he must have had somewhat of an idea what he was getting into.

It was all voluntary unlike the conditions in Vegas. However, there is no evidence that LV hit 130º as the title suggests. 114 yesterday and predicted again today.
