ELI5: How does the LHC not melt when it produces temperatures of 5,500,000,000,000C?

Imagine dropping a lit match onto a frozen lake.  It's hot enough to melt the ice, but it's too small to do any significant damage.  

The high-speed particles are even smaller compared to the LHC than the match is to the lake.
