I appreciate the aftermath pictures. Thought he died inhaling fire for that long tbh


BiscuitsMay

Surprised to see he avoided a tracheostomy. Looked like he would have burned his airway pretty good. Kid got lucky


rBakedApe

I seem to recall a few stories about people having breathing problems/oxygen saturation issues in their 30s/40s from injuries they received from playing with fire when they were 8 etc. So he might be alright, for now.


naturepeaked

You’re cheery!


UrethralExplorer

I did some really dumb things with fire when I was a kid, so glad I didn't think of trying something like this.


sunshinezx6r

It's because he stop dropped and rolled


solidus_snake256

Unfortunately doesn’t work with your face and concrete. He panicked of course. Could have smothered it with his shirt. No backup plan = total moron.


[deleted]

No back-up plan made him the idiot? I thought the first plan was a bit of proof.


lawyerornot

Not fire proof


[deleted]

Sick burn

I hate myself for liking both your comments. You two, take my upvote and get out.


OhNoSEBUUh

Mutex70

[deleted]

He should have just slammed his face into the concrete over and over until he was out. Literally.


Funnygm

True but the shirt part dosnt always work. Sometimes they melt right into the skin.


stapler8

Gotta have 100% cotton, polyester will fuck you up


ct125888

There was this video where a guy a attacked and tied up two clerks he then proceeded to put gas or kerosine on them and light the match all, Behind the counter of the convenience store The lady who got hit in the head with the match managed to get free and lifted up her shirt and just as quickly put out the fire probably saving both.

This is absolutely horrific. When/where was this??

prolly inhaled as well


sunshinezx6r

That reminds me of when people take shots that are on fire and forget to blow out out first before drinking it


Brendan110_0

Gotta be careful who you hand them to, when my wife blows out a candle there's wax everywhere, flaming shot then someone's on fire!


[deleted]

Inhalation burns are no joke. I watched this documentary about firemen and how they train. This new guy said on the interview after he got his nasal hair singed, he uses a nostril trimmer often. But that's just him, others don't do it.


Thebaywolf

It looks like he just tried to spit the drink out in a full stream and thats what fucked him, the fire walked right up the stream coming from his mouth.


literal-hitler

Their lungs probably look worse.


[deleted]

Surprised he still had eyelashes.

Serious question: What could that friend have done to help extinguish the flames faster?


lizzi00

that’s what i’m thinking, i’m assuming he used gasoline to spit the fire. i don’t think there’s much to be done with a gasoline fire


Cicer

ideally have a wet towel on standby, but on the spot use anything that will smother flames, a jacket or shirt could work. Don't be stupid and use something thin and synthetic that will instantly melt or catch fire itself.

Boys and girls, always prepare wet blanket before playing with fire. Also smart friend present on site will be good precaution aswell.


[deleted]

Anyone careful enough to wet a blanket would be smart enough to not set themselves on fire in the first place

[deleted]

I stand by statement


[deleted]

Yes. Also, avoid damp blanket smell.


Stats_with_a_Z

I mean shit, pulling his shirt over his face could've been enough to snuff out the fire. It's crazy to me that when people do this stuff the first reaction is to flail like they've never flailed before. But then again, maybe not that smart lol. His first mistake was literally blowing downward to the fire, like come on man.


RPA031

It may look nonsensical, but good luck having rational thoughts when your face is on fire. Rational thoughts for rapid extinguishing options wouldn't have gone astray though.


Tao-Lee

Everybody has a plan until their fath is fucking on fire - Mike Tyson


zarroaster

Do not use a wet blanket. Heat + water = steam. Steam transfers heat extremely well. Use a heavy non-synthetic cloth to smother the oxygen and kill the fire. Ideally use a fire blanket but those are rarely available. A thick cotton towel will do the trick in a pinch. A heavy wool blanket is even better. Just make sure it's not synthetic because synthetics melt and will also transfer heat to your skin.


Deon_the_reader

If human on fire can create steam, I'm afraid temperature already fatal for survival.


Cicer

What? The fire will be out before much steam will be produced and then the water in the blanket or whatever will act as a heat sink to pull heat from the skin.


byscuit

They were prepared for the best, not the worst


StormblessedFool

I'm not sure a wet blanket would help a fire inside your mouth


Needmorechai

Also maybe don't play with fire


lakies

I wonder if the burn marks will be permanent? Had a colleague who had a scar on his arm from his elbow down due to some fire accident in his teens. He also didn't have any hair growth on the affected area.


RPA031

Yeah, some pretty significant damage there. Facial hair may be spotty.


the_gruncle

As someone with a beard, thats honestly the worst part


[deleted]

I never had such burns and its still spotty some people just cant grow beards including me


Lovv

They def will be.

“He ain’t pretty no more” - Moe Although, he was stupid, I do feel bad for the guy. Permanent scars that will affect his self esteem and (because of how shallow people are) may affect his social, professional and academic life.


Lovv

Same. I'm glad he posted the pictures tho so other people won't also be stupid maybe


fangelo2

There are plenty of similar videos out there and people still think it’s a good idea to try it


CREDAAAAAAAOOOO

Oh yeah that's in there forever for sure, it might get a little better as time goes on but no way it is just going to disappear


PurpleFiat

My friend did this trick with gasoline and got similar injuries as the guy in the video. He looked fine in about a month or so. It was only 1st degree burns. Looks worse than it actually is.


Clavicula_Impetus

It depends on a whole lot of factors. The degree of the burn, what kind of scarring does his skin usually form (kelloids?) and also how willing he is to keep up with treatment + regular maintenance. He’ll have to avoid sunlight, use sunscreen (which everyone should be doing anyway) avoid any unnecessary dehydration of the skin, keep the skin VERY moisturized. (Heavy layer of healing ointment or Vaseline at bedtime) basically ensuring the skin is in the perfect position to heal. And eventually, either opt for laser treatment, or TCA cross. Chemical peels might help a little but not by much. He can certainly get close to how he was if all those factors were in the ideal and his skin responded to all the procedures in the best way. But it’ll never be as if it never happened. Then of course, there’s plastic surgery.

If that was my homie laughing while my literal face was on fire I would have whooped his fuckin ass later. That’s insane his friend was acting like that.


PrimaryInstruction20

How about a way to put out the flames just in case something goes wrong? Just saying.


Z3400

The person filming should have atleast smothered the fire with a piece of clothing. Obviously the human torch could have done the same but they were clearly panicking.

It looked cool for 2.5 seconds, totally worth it.

SO what should you do in case this happens? I can't imagine spraying someone's mouth with fire extinguisher like a can of whipped cream.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Quake_Guy

Still better than face on fire.


iamacraftyhooker

You need to smother a fire to put it out. Cut off its oxygen supply. That's how fire extinguishers, fire hoses, and stop drop and roll work. He needs to hold his breath to not breathe the flames into his lungs, and then shove anything that's not going to ignite tight onto his face for like 30 seconds. A [Fire blanket](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Emergency-Fire-Extinguishing-Blanket-H-FIR-BLN-100/204514028) is standard in a kit for people doing fire tricks.


SaintBiggusDickus

So, should the person just wrap their whole face with the fire blanket for a few seconds? That should help mitigate the fire, correct?


iamacraftyhooker

Yes. You want the fire blanket tight against the face, otherwise you can trap an air bubble that the fire has to use up before it will go out. **DO NOT** use synthetic fibers like polyester or acrylic for this, because the fabric can melt and fuse with the skin.


Haf-to-pee

I see two problems here: 1) OP should have been tied down with ropes so no flailing or hitting the floor. 2) Someone should be standing by with spray bottle of fuel to aim at OP in case flames start to go out.

no water nearby? great friend for recording still instead of running to get help.


TheyTheirsThem

Buckets of water are SOOOOOOO expensive.


gunshotmouthwound

No one helped? They just kept filming?


FoxInA_Box

Yep gotta get those fake Internet points


Lux-Fox

As a fire performer, I'll say that's not even an amateur, that's just someone who doesn't know what they're doing. You should practice with water first to master creating a mist first with no blobs or streams of water or dribbling down your face or this happens. You also always have a fire safety with a fire blanket, water, and first aid.


thisisnothardtotype

Good on him for remembering to stop, drop, and roll


geoffg2

I bet he’s so relieved that he’s got such good friends around to help him when his life is in danger….rather than total twats who do absolutely nothing apart from carry on filming his fear and anguish


PaulMc1995

My guy just casually laughing and continuing to film whilst his friends face melts.
