Talk about stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Wonder if the song "I wanna rock" went through his head?

...then it did!

Ya know what they say; rolling heads gather no moss!

I can just see it now... Dee Snyder's huge head of hair rolling down a hill whilst singing.

Better to be decapitated than to asphyxiate on volcano dust and other unpleasantries. Decapitation is a mercy.

The alternative in this case was to be entombment by the pyroclastic flow - a dense mix of rapidly moving hot air and semi-molten rock dust at several hundred degrees Celsius. The death in that case would also be instantaneous.

I am guessing the stone spared this men of the death by molten rock by several seconds at most.
