Happened to a guy on my old ship, the USS Monterey, though a few years after I left the Navy. He was walking along a pier walkway in Norfolk and fell into a concrete trench below a leaky steam line filled with hot water condensate.
It took the poor guy two days to die.
I remember that in the news. The guy was instantly blinded because his eyeballs pretty much cooked. I didn’t know that he also died.
ETA: And I think he was repeating something like “It was stupid, what I did.”
I think this is called “one-downing each other.”
I got an oil spatter that covered a few square millimeters on my chest. I was in pain for several weeks, and could still feel it 6 months later.
When Alton says tilt the pan away from yourself and flip the fish away as well, listen to him.
Old Faithful (like pretty much all geysers everywhere) regularly deals with rainfall, including occasional thunderstorm downpours. So the chance that a couple of guys peeing would do much to change things seems amazingly small.
Has anyone thrown a bar of soap in there? 
I got part of me boiled on my ship… Couple gallons of 200 degree water splashed onto my chest/stomach when I stupidly forgot to drain a pump I was working on. Fortunately, my coveralls where tied at my waist, which protected lil CJ and the twins from harm, but my torso was red/blistered.
Being boiled alive is, imo, the #1 worst way to go. Maybe I just spent way too long thinking about what would happen if one of the main steam pipes ruptured.
Oh, and never cook bacon naked.
NEVER.
And I see from the news story listed as another reason for their dismissal was their taking of items from the national park. Even without the peeing, wandering off the trail then taking items (though they didn’t mention what they were) is probably enough to get anyone fired from a government paid job like that.
Aren’t the main steam pipes at 600 psi? It was my understanding that death from those comes pretty much instantaneously, if not necessarily painlessly.
