Poor guy who got hit in the leg by flying lava.

Lava spatter hits Hawaii man, shatters his leg in first known injury from Kilauea volcano

snip//

"Since early May, the volcano has burned dozens of homes, forced people to flee, and shot up plumes of steam from its summit. Lava flows have increased, spattering molten rock that hit a man in a leg.

He was outside his home Saturday in a remote, rural region of Hawaii’s Big Island when the lava ‘‘hit him on the shin, and shattered everything from there down on his leg,’’ Janet Snyder, Hawaii County mayor’s spokeswoman, told the Hawaii News Now TV station."

And, this..

‘‘We have no way of knowing whether this is really the beginning or toward the end of this eruption,’’ said Tom Shea, a volcanologist at the University of Hawaii. ‘‘We’re kind of all right now in this world of uncertainty.’’
