The Leidenfrost Effect: "a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly". It looks pretty spectacular captured at 3000 frames-per-second (almost as spectacular as when the same principle is applied to the human hand).

So if a human were to be tossed into a lava pit, their skin would instantly boil and create a steam barrier for a brief moment.
Do NOT try this at home!

I think he was referring to my comment, joking about boiling a man alive.
