It might act like a giant heatsink tho, making your body cool out as soon as it starts melting and creating proper surface contact. But chilling in 20ยฐC water is also not really an issue so i guess it depends on the thermal conductivity of the skin/gallium interface.
Just use something similar with a lower melting point. Mercury or cesium both do. You're welcome!
There's alloys with lower melting points, here's one that's 281K/8ยฐC

You'll completely float on mercury, and cesium does no good to your body. Like, at all.
Thanks i will try it out later :)
