be resistant to cold and impossible to freeze to death
- Most fire deaths result from smoke inhalation before flames reach the victim, limiting what heat resistance actually prevents.
- Cold resistance unlocks polar exploration and extreme winter environments otherwise inaccessible to any human.
- Everyday cold exposure — wind chill, winter weather, cold water — is far more common than fire risk for most people.
- Being heat-resistant might interfere with your body's own thermal regulation and core temperature control.
