I also find that channeling a tile into your magma basin at a diagonal works like a charm. That is, if you only have Miners. Engraving a Fortification is always the way to go otherwise. Still have yet to lose a dorf to magma, though the orbital magma cannon accidentally leaked and burned my pig farm to cinders -_-

But it should be easy enough not to use them in a way you feel is dumb while letting other people have their hilarity.

Lol, oink-sizzle:p

Lotta magma threads last 24 hours, my my...

Never tried engraving a fortification, I'll have go give that a shot. I always dig into a diagonal from a diagonal, only lost 1 guy that decided to be stupid and fall asleep once the volcano was breached. Rude awakening.
