Why is it when someone opens the door to a 500c (932f) degree oven, the rush of hot air doesn’t burn them?

When you open the oven door a relatively small amount of very hot air diffuses quite quickly into a large amount of significantly cooler air. Thus the temperature even a short distance away from the oven door will be much cooler.
