Answer:

I think this is the right answer, I researched this. I am not sure if this is the right answer.

Lava flows rarely kill people because they move slowly enough for people to get out of their way. If magma is thick and sticky, gases cannot escape easily. Pressure builds up until the gases escape violently and explode. ... Explosive volcanic eruptions can be dangerous and deadly.
