On that note:
A friend of the family is an off road racer. One year during Baja, his race car caught on fire and he was in it so long, his fireproof suit started to melt (and his skin along with it). He survivied the ordeal, and eventually told us about it.
He said that at first it really sucked, but once the burns were severe enough, the nerve damage (plus the shock, presumably) was enough to effectively deaden the pain while he patiently waited to die.
No such luck in the recovery, though. Being a burn victim is about the worst recovery there is as far as pain is concerned.
