extreme heat danger cycling

ever find yourself "on the brink" due to extreme heat & unable to cycle to safety? or just barely?

last August, I was some distance from my car, but found some shade & laid down, then found some water to jump into. after a good cool-down was able to make it back to my car. was thinking if that situation was lacking the shade, water in my bottle & a nearby pond, the result of riding a cpl hrs in that heat might have ended differently
