Technically yes. However, only a handful of people have ever survived a pyroclastic flow. A few people have been inside sturdy structures, either deep inside or with only small openings. One man survived in a jail cell. Most of these people still suffered third degree burns. Another person survived after he was knocked into a river and did not come up until after the flow had passed. Not inhaling is likely a key factor to prevent the gasses from searing your lungs. These survival cases appear to have been those caught at the edge of a flow or in a less dense pyroclastic surge and so any deposits of burning hot ash were thin.
What else can I help you with?
Which way does a pyroclastic flow move from a volcano?
A pyroclastic flow moves quickly downhill from a volcano, following valleys and topographic lows. The flow consists of hot gas, ash, and volcanic debris that can reach speeds of over 100 km/h and temperatures of up to 1000°C. It is extremely dangerous and can devastate everything in its path.
Which is faster a lava flow pyroclastic flow or lahar?
Pyroclastic flows move much faster than lava flows and carry much more momentum. This means there is little time tog et out of the way, and that they can pass over barriers that would stop or deflect lava flows. They can also carry more material. A single pyroclastic flow can bury an area to several meters thick in a matter of seconds.
How is a pyroclastic flow managed?
Pyroclastic flows are extremely dangerous and difficult to manage. The best way to deal with them is through monitoring volcanic activity and issuing warnings to evacuate areas at risk. Building barriers and diversion channels can also help mitigate the impact of pyroclastic flows on communities living near active volcanoes.
Can you out run lava?
It depends on the type of volcano. In the case of a stratovolcano, also called a composite volcano (the kind with a tall, conical mountain) you would be struck by hot ash from a pyroclastic flow, and there is no way that you could out run that (although you should never give up)! In a shield volcano, like the ones in Hawaii, there is no pyroclastic flow and you could probably out run the lava.
When mount merapi erupts do they try and stop the lava flow?
No. Recent eruptions of Mount Merapi have produced pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows. Pyrolastic flows are fast-moving currents of hot ash, rock, and gas. There is no way of stopping or deflecting them.
How can you survive a pyroclastic eruption?
The best way to survive a pyroclastic eruption is to get far from the volcano, beyond the reach of pyroclastic flows. Stay away from stream channels to avoid mudflows. If you experience heavy ashfall, breath through a wet rag.
How is a pyroclastic flow stopped?
A Pyroclastic Flow can't be stopped!! Even if you're there. If you are any where near a volcano when a Pyroclastic Flow occurs, you will most likely be dead within 30 seconds of seeing it.-Their speed may be as fast as the speed of sound.So Pyroclastic Flows can't be stopped, and aren't stopped.
What doe you do whena pyroclastic flow comes?
Well, pyroclastic flow will preserve your body so the best thing to do is strike a pose! There is no way to outrun it unless you have your own super-fast private jet. I don't...so I'm thinking of going for a Megan Fox pose...

How do people survive in holland?
The exact way any other human does.
Are there any creeks that flow into the Mississippi?
Nope I am pretty sure no no way
Which way does an isotonic solution flow?
Isotonic solution doesn't flow in any direction because the concentration is even on the outside and on the inside.
