It is very unlikely. One of the few survivors of a pyroclastic flow was a man named Ludger Sylbaris. In 1902 he was sent to prison in the city of St Pierre on the French colonial island of Martinique. Not long afterward the nearby volcano Mount Pelee erupted, sending a pyroclastic flow in the the city, leaving Sylbaris as one of only two survivors in the city of over 30,000. Sylbaris was shielded from the worst effects of the flow by his jail cell, but he still suffered 3rd degree burns.
