I've heard of people dying by going directly from a cold pool into a hot tub...it causes trauma to your heart apparently. There are even signs up in many hotels to warn you against doing this and asking you to wait 15 minutes when switching. Also, you're not supposed to be in a hot tub for more than 30 minutes.

I think you'd be able to see the water boiling though, but man...that's brutal.
That's the part I don't get. I'd also think that you could feel the heat coming off the water, especially if it was hot enough to kill you.
