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.
What else can I help you with?
Why is a pyroclastic flow more dangerous than an earthquake?
An earthquake create a hazard of collapsing buildings and falling objects, which are the greatest threats. So it is quite possible to survive. A pyroclastic flow produces searing temperaturesthat can be well over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. You can survive the collapse of a building, but you cannot survive a pyroclastic flow.
What is the term for lava flow that travels downhill at over 100mph?
Pyroclastic flow
Can you outrun a pyroclastic flow?
No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.
Does a pyroclastic flow typically occur during a quiet or loud eruption?
Pyroclastic flow typically occurs during a violent eruption.
What does a pyroclastic flow sound like?
Strangely, pyroclastic flows are silent. The speed of sound inside such a flow is quite slow, slower than the speed at which the flow moves. Because of this and other acoustic properties, all sound produced by a pyroclastic flow remains trapped inside of it.

How can pyroclastic flow be used in a sentence?
The pyroclastic flow from the volcano devastated the surrounding area, burying everything in its path under a blanket of ash and hot gases.
In which direction does a pyroclastic flow move away from a volcano?
A pyroclastic flow moves away from a volcano in all directions.
What volcano has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava?
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
What is a pyroclastic flow in volano?
Pyroclastic flow is gas that result from water mixing with loose material on the steep sides of a volcano.
