Woman Recounts How Sauna Exploded Moments Before She Was About To Enter It In Wild Viral Video

Every once in a while, you come across a story that unlocks a new fear inside of you, and our latest just might be exploding saunas.

Tiktoker and wellness influencer Dominque Elissa recently stayed at a very secluded Airbnb where there was little to no reception, as well as no neighboring houses close by.

The Airbnb she was staying at also had a sauna outside, so she set up the sauna to warm up while she was cooking dinner. She cooked, ate dinner, and was just minutes away from entering the sauna.

Then she heard a loud "boom" coming the sauna as it exploded, causing 10 to 15-meter-high flames.

She ended up running to the closest house she could see, and even then it took some convincing for the neighbors to actually help her.

Multiple police vehicles and firetrucks eventually came to secure the area and to put the massive fire out.

Elissa shared her near-death experience as a "get ready with me"-style video, and she admitted that she felt like she was in a dream or a horror movie, remarking that it was the most horrific thing to ever happen in her life.

What really kept her reeling was the fact that she was only moments away from entering that sauna, and knowing that it could have exploded with her already inside was hard to process.

Fellow TikTokers were blatantly shocked by the freak accident and were grateful that Elissa was okay.

Anyone who has been through a near-death experience understands how traumatic it is to realize what almost happened and what could have happened.

Elissa continues to question how she will fully process and get over this. The day after the sauna incident, she was set to host a wellness workshop, and she wasn't sure how she was going to pull it off while still processing all of those emotions.

The wellness influencer is holding onto her gratitude that she is alive and still here when she easily could not be, but clearly there are still a lot of feelings and thoughts to work out, which she plans to see a therapist about to help her process.
