He was standing on the lava though, so that still counts, and it was still hot enough to destroy his shoes, accelerant or no accelerant.
On a tangent, I remember the story of a volcanologist who got married to his wife on a layer of freshly cooled lava, and then a short while after the wedding had finished another layer of lava came across and covered where they had married, so no-one will ever stand on that particular piece of ground again.
As unique wedding locations go, they don't come much more unique than that.
Lava is quite an interesting form of matter, depending on the surface it travels over, it can either move faster than an express train or slow enough that you can run rings around it. Either which way though, one mistake and you don't usually get a chance to make another.
