The Yellowstone Park is going to "burst" or "explode" any time. How to escape?

Why would you want to?  Everybody else is gonna be dead.

move away from the car. Before it catches on fire.

I would suggest you stick to your guns and keep blocking them\n\nAfter all, you'd be the first person out and it means less people for the fire warden people to evacuate.\n\nLook after number one!!!..........

Make sure that it is ok with the local authorities. A night in jail would totally ruin the mood. Then start by digging a shallow hole (about 1 ft deep by 3 ft wide) in the sand. Lay some crumbled newspaper down and some small twigs on top.  Atleast enough to fill about half the hole. A started log can be purchesed from a department store (like Wal-Mart) or hardware store. Layer larger sizes of sticks on top until they are about the thicknes of your arm. Light the newspaper/starter log. The important things to remember is that coals are what keep a fire going. Setting up a good coal bed is what you are doing. Once that is acheived you can burn some of the larger logs. Make sure they are think and atleast 3 ft long but not longer that 5 ft. To put out the fire just throw the sand on it you dug out of the hole. Having a good sized shovel is a must. Make sure you have marshmallows and hot dogs on hand also!!

You will detonate soon.  Keep holding it in like that and sooner or later you will blow.  Since it's been 3 days already, you could go any minute.\n\nHasta la vista, baby.

Same way you survive a fire, flood, tsunami or volcano eruption:  Be somewhere else.  So far, it's been working for me.

Going to the park, or just taking deep breaths.\nJust, sit back and relax like they say.\n\nOr driving also helps me relax until a stupid ass comes along.

Where are you at?\nIn the USA we have Yellowstone. There are others in the world.  Ask a geologist or a vuclanogist. Personally i am more worried about yellowstone.

Soak in the ground.\nEvaporate.

Not looking down is a good idea but not always possible. Make sure you get the person running the abseil to talk through all the safety equipment with you, that helps for confidence. Remember, if you haven't abseiled before that it is essentially walking down the wall/rock-face backwards. With that in mind remember to put your feet flat on the wall as if you are standing on the walk. I if you don't you will just hang off the rope and it not very easy. Finally remember what Woody Allen said "Its not the heights I'm scared of, its the floor!". Good luck

You could die if it erupted

We do not know. Future volcanic eruptions could occur within or near Yellowstone National Park for the simple reason that the area has a long volcanic history and because there is hot and molten rock, or magma, beneath the caldera now. Yellowstone is monitored for signs of volcanic activity by YVO scientists who detect earthquakes using seismographs and ground motion using GPS (Global Positioning System). YVO has not detected signs of activity that suggest an eruption is imminent.\n\nThe crust of North America continuously moves southwest over the Yellowstone hotspot as the Earth's crust stretches above it, promoting the ascent of heat and molten rock. These processes produce basaltic magmas within the Earth's mantle, which rise into the overlying crust and continue to heat the rocks beneath Yellowstone, maintaining and possibly adding to the rhyolite magma in the crust above.\n\nYellowstone's 2-million-year history of volcanism, the copious amount of heat that still flows from the ground, the frequent earthquakes, and the repeated uplift and subsidence of the caldera floor also testify to the continuity of magmatic processes beneath Yellowstone and point to the possibility of future volcanism and earthquake activity.

I'm afraid I can't do that. It'll burn up and disintegrate before it even gets half-way down to you. :-P

stand in a place where no one else is around for miles and blow yourself up

Forces brewing deep beneath Yellowstone National Park could be making one of the largest volcanoes on Earth even bigger, a new study reveals. \n\nIn the past decade, part of the volcano has risen nearly five inches, most likely due to a backup of flowing molten rock miles below the planet's crust.\n\nWhile the rise may not be noticeable to the casual hiker, the activity may have cracked the crust in the park's famous Norris Geyser Basin (NGB), leading to the formation of new fumaroles—holes that vent smoke and gas—and the reawakening of some of the area's geysers, including Steamboat, the largest geyser in the world.\n\nYellowstone last erupted about 640,000 years ago, spewing 240 cubic miles of material. Despite the newly discovered activity, researchers don't expect it to erupt any time soon. Eventually, however, it could explode again as a super-volcano that would destroy life for hundreds of miles around and coat the entire country in ash.\n\nRadar observations from the European Space Agency's ERS-2 satellite reveal that the jellybean-shaped Yellowstone caldera—a giant depression caused by past volcanic explosions—began to rise in 1995. \n\nAlthough the caldera floor started to sink in late 1997, part of the north rim, called the north rim uplift anomaly (NUA) continued rising until 2003.\n\nMolten rock called magma rises from the Earth's core under Sour Creek dome, a major feature in the eastern section of the caldera. When the magma reaches the mantle layer, six to 12 miles below the surface, it spreads like a pancake before branching off into several tunnels.\n\nMagma flow is controlled by natural valves—one at Sour Creek dome that lets magma enter the system, and others that allow it to flow out. The outflow valve below the north rim uplift anomaly, however, can only pass so much magma at once. \n\n"Magma's always coming up in Sour Creek dome and going through the system," USGS research geophysicist Charles Wicks told LiveScience. "But maybe there are pulses when more comes up. That may be what causes the surface to rise."\n\nThe pulses might be more than the outflow valve can handle—like trying to squeeze all the toothpaste out of the tube at once. As the molten material pushes out on the surrounding rock, the ground around the valve expands and cracks. \n\nThis could explain why the uplift anomaly has risen and the Norris Geyser Basin has become more active, Wicks said. Another explanation is that nearby geothermic changes and seismic activity altered the shape of the valve, perhaps narrowing it. However, previous studies have indicated that no such alterations have occurred, and that changes in flow rate more likely cause these deformations.\n\nThe five-inch increase at the uplift anomaly probably wasn't noticed by many tourists, but the changes in the Norris Geyser Basin were easily spotted by some. After a nine year period of inactivity, Steamboat Geyser erupted in May, 2000, and has erupted five times since. Reaching more than 300 feet in the air, Steamboat produces the highest plumes of any geyser in the world.\n\nSince 1989, Pork Chop geyser was active only as a hot spring, but in the summer of 2003 it reawakened as a geyser. Also that summer, several footpaths near the Norris Geyser Basin were closed because of near-boiling ground temperatures.\n\nAnd a 250-foot line of new fumaroles, holes venting hot smoke and gases, formed near Nymph Lake to the north of the uplift anomaly. \n\n"But when the [uplift anomaly] quit inflating in 2002 and 2003, the thermal unrest died off too," Wicks said. "So we think there's pretty good evidence for tying these events together."\n\nDespite these changes, Wicks doesn't believe that Yellowstone is ready to erupt.\n\n"This is probably an ongoing feature in Yellowstone. We've only been able to study it like this for 10 years, so we're still not sure what's normal and what&

If it's already happening, I think you should quickly hide under a desk. Or if there's a warning siren or smth, you should run to the nearest shelter or place where your government has designated it to be a place to seek refuge during such emergencies.
