Man...that's painful to think about. By sauna, I was picturing the steam saunas with a door...this sounds like a hot tub accident.

I've heard of people dying by going directly from a cold pool into a hot tub...it causes trauma to your heart apparently. There are even signs up in many hotels to warn you against doing this and asking you to wait 15 minutes when switching. Also, you're not supposed to be in a hot tub for more than 30 minutes.

I think you'd be able to see the water boiling though, but man...that's brutal.
