What would happen if you were trapped in an operating autoclave?

In autoclave is a machine used for sterilization of glass wear and utensils. Typically for science labs. It uses a combination of heat, pressure, and steam to kill off any living organisms on it's content. Many facilities have large walk in autoclaves. What would happen if you were trapped in one while it was running?

you'd die, quite painfully I'd suspect.
I would also assume they are designed with emergency egress latches, much the way walk in freezers are to prevent just such an eventuality.
