It CAN threaten someone's life if they are playing softball or tennis. I, personally, saw a man fall face down in the infield in a softball game from the HEAT and humidity and just BEING in the SUN. helped drag him into the shade while the ambulance was called. Same thing at a tennis match. SPLAT he hit the asphalt and was bleeding from the face.
........They were engaged in an outdoor COMPETETIVE activity in the summer heat. That is WAY, WAY, different than driving to Publix with the A/C on. Maybe someday the outdoor activities players will have INDIVIDUAL A/C, but it is NOT yet developed.
