PAHOA, BIG ISLAND (HawaiiNewsNow) - The first lava-related injury from the Kilauea eruption has been reported.
A man was hit in the leg with hot lava spatter Hawaii County officials confirmed Saturday.
A spokesperson says a homeowner was on his third-floor balcony at his home on Noni Farms Road when he was hit.
The lava flew through the air and landed on the man's leg, spokeswoman Janet Snyder said.
"It hit him on the shin, and shattered everything from there down on his leg," Snyder added.
The man was reportedly transported to the hospital with serious injuries.

You know how painful just bumping into a coffee table is.

It was a pyroclast, not a lava flow

No lawyer ball in this thread, son.

Residents should follow the directions of public officials to stay ahead of the lava, like this guy.

It can be scary, you just have to know how to deal with it.

An accident last August highlights the hazards of summit access. On his 21 August 2007 ascent, Chris Weber's group evacuated a local Maasai porter who had fallen into an active lava flow (around 500°C) in the crater. The porter had managed to get out of the lava, but with both legs and one arm seriously burned. Initial treatment at an Arusha hospital was financed by Weber's tour company. As of January 2008 he was bedridden in his home near Engare Sero, experiencing pain and muscle wasting.

I was just vacationing in Hawaii two years ago. Really makes you think.

I looked at Hawaii on a map. Damn.

Once they find a Hawaiian virgin to throw into the volcano, all of this suffering ends. The frantic search continues into Day 23.

There’s a Hawaiian punch vs Hawaiian kick joke in there somewhere. It’s just too close to Monday for my brain to function
