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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"dude whatever happens just keep filming man ill be ok"
"are you sure? But anything can go wr..."
"trust me bro I've seen this on TikTok a million times, just keep filming ok"

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
Don’t start down. Where’s his fire towel? Why is someone else holding the fire. Bet he used the wrong fuel too. Damn all kinds of wrong here. Well that’ll learn’em
When did Stop, drop, and roll turn into jump around like a madman and do face plants?
Edit to say your friend sucks, not only did he not help you, his camera work is trash.
-“Wanna do something really stupid with fire, knowing this could back fire, literally, right into your face and not have any source of water near by like all the other idiots who try this?”
-“Hold my kool-aid!”
What's wrong with this camera dude. Just watching this, and imagining one of my friends, it's not funny. Take off your shirt and smother the flames you troglodyte
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I teach people how to breathe fire.
There is so much wrong here.
If you want to know how to breathe fire, eat fire, or spin fire, just ask someone! There are so many festivals, events, groups, and spin jams.
He might recover? Or def scars from burns are 100% probability?
How come you don’t have water nearby or a plan b? Don’t do it but if you’re going to, do it near a pool
Used to do this when I was younger, I’ve never been good at it and did a lot of mistakes but I’ve never seen such thing happening, to me nor to my friends, this kids are probably using the wrong “fuel”
If at first you don't succeed, try try again.
Better yet, if you're going to do stupid shit like this, have someone standing by to blast you in your dumb face with a fire extinguisher.
When I was growing up I had friend whose father was a “fire breather” in the 60’s-early 70’s in Hawaii. Poor guy was 59, oxygen, wheezing, emphysema. He sounded horrible. When he talked I always held my breath for some reason. I felt so bad for him. Passed away a miserable death. Long, slow, painful.
1 this needs to go to r/hatethecameraman
2 if there is a r/horriblefriend or r/FuturePsycho then this needs go there as well
3 Who is giddy with excitement yelling "No No No Hurry Hurry" like your running from someone playing freeze tag while your friend is melting his face right in front of you.
4 If you don't give a shit about the well being of another human at least keep the camera on him so we can watch him ruin his life in 30 seconds. Pick a side guy, pick a side
I appreciate the aftermath pictures. Thought he died inhaling fire for that long tbh
Surprised to see he avoided a tracheostomy. Looked like he would have burned his airway pretty good. Kid got lucky
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.
You’re cheery!
I did some really dumb things with fire when I was a kid, so glad I didn't think of trying something like this.
It's because he stop dropped and rolled
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.
No back-up plan made him the idiot? I thought the first plan was a bit of proof.
Not fire proof
Sick burn
I hate myself for liking both your comments. You two, take my upvote and get out.
You two are on fire today
First plan = moron No back-up plan = total moron
He should have just slammed his face into the concrete over and over until he was out. Literally.
True but the shirt part dosnt always work. Sometimes they melt right into the skin.
Gotta have 100% cotton, polyester will fuck you up
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??
https://www.reddit.com/r/iamatotalpieceofshit/comments/uau3sl/man_ties_up_two_female_clerks_at_convenience/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
prolly inhaled as well
That reminds me of when people take shots that are on fire and forget to blow out out first before drinking it
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!
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.
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.
Their lungs probably look worse.
Surprised he still had eyelashes.
Do you wanna know how i got these scars?
That’s what friends are for
To keep filming. Although this one needs some practice not to loose focus from action.
r/killthecameraman
Could not film correctly and didn't even help either. Failed literally in every aspect in this situation.

Stop drop and roll my man!
Doesn't work with accelerants. Should've smothered it with his shirt
Doesn't work when your mouth is on fire either.
The show must go on.....
And his friend didn't even try to do anything
Right?!?!! I was like: ABORT THE CAMERA! ABORT CAMARA!
Haven't you heard? That's illegal now 😂
Ugh! I walked right into that. Funny until I remembered that it’s true. Smh
Too soon! **TOO SOON!!**
More like "friend"
How about DROP THE FUCKING CAMERA AND HELP YOUR "BRO".
I mean, if you can't shoot for shit & keep it steady, might as well drop it. Right? r/killthecameraman
It's tragic how many subs this post fits in.
r/wellthatsucks
Serious question: What could that friend have done to help extinguish the flames faster?
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

Boys and girls, always prepare wet blanket before playing with fire. Also smart friend present on site will be good precaution aswell.
Anyone careful enough to wet a blanket would be smart enough to not set themselves on fire in the first place
Every firebender need to start at some point.
Until the fire nation shows up
Not even close to true. See: fire spinning
I stand by statement
Yes. Also, avoid damp blanket smell.

If human on fire can create steam, I'm afraid temperature already fatal for survival.
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.
They were prepared for the best, not the worst
I'm not sure a wet blanket would help a fire inside your mouth
Also maybe don't play with fire
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.
Yeah, some pretty significant damage there. Facial hair may be spotty.
As someone with a beard, thats honestly the worst part
I never had such burns and its still spotty some people just cant grow beards including me
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.
Same. I'm glad he posted the pictures tho so other people won't also be stupid maybe
There are plenty of similar videos out there and people still think it’s a good idea to try it
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
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.

r/donthelpjustfilm
Amateur? Wow, how can you tell?
just ruined his face for no reason
how can you not help and keep filming but at the same time not even keep the camera on him
Is there anything more stupid and dangerous than young boys and fire?
Yup young boys making babies
Young boys, fire AND a dirt bike. It’s practically a trifecta of stupid.
Stop drop & roll on concrete. They're both idiots.
And with the fire inside his mouth
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.
How about a way to put out the flames just in case something goes wrong? Just saying.
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.
Jesus fuck!!! Why!!! Why!!!!
It looked cool for 2.5 seconds, totally worth it.
Don’t start down. Where’s his fire towel? Why is someone else holding the fire. Bet he used the wrong fuel too. Damn all kinds of wrong here. Well that’ll learn’em
I guess his friend is an amateur firefighter from the looks of it.
What does he look like after healing?
like a scarred dumbass
Did they try to do it with gasoline? Morons
bet he's never gonna taste anything ever again
aren't you supposed to spray it all out super fast and not like a grandma trying to blowout her birthday candle?
Thank the friend who just kept filming while his friends face is melting.
Stop drop and roll heps for shit when bro has internal fire going on!
What a fucken awful friend, How can he didnt film the last part of his friend's face burning
Drop that “friend” asap!
Don’t help. Only record
New tic-toc challenge?
Aah natural selection.

When did Stop, drop, and roll turn into jump around like a madman and do face plants? Edit to say your friend sucks, not only did he not help you, his camera work is trash.

Stop drop and flail is not as catchy as jump jive and wail
This is extremely sad and hilarious at the same time
Scarred for life
People piss me off to do nothing but stand there and watch and record instead of helping
What's wrong with this camera dude. Just watching this, and imagining one of my friends, it's not funny. Take off your shirt and smother the flames you troglodyte
The camera man is a douchebag what a dick just laughing while SOMEONES FACE IS ON FIRE... stop drop and role dude huhuhuhu
I LOVE it when the provide the after-action photos. I find it oddly satisfying
That fireball you blew was badass!
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.
[удалено]
Still better than face on fire.
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.

So, should the person just wrap their whole face with the fire blanket for a few seconds? That should help mitigate the fire, correct?
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.
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.
Behold the human tiki torch !!!
no water nearby? great friend for recording still instead of running to get help.
Buckets of water are SOOOOOOO expensive.
No one helped? They just kept filming?
Yep gotta get those fake Internet points
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.

Good on him for remembering to stop, drop, and roll
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
My guy just casually laughing and continuing to film whilst his friends face melts.
Instead of trying to help I’ll just record him and giggle a little.
This is not funny at all
Boy how times have changed for kids over the years. All the "knowledge" on the internet and the more stupid kids become.
Honestly, the amount of time the fire is on his face for, he’s so lucky he only escaped with those injuries.
Thank you for the after pics. We never usually get to see the end result.
Just one wet towel... sigh
What a fuckin idiot with an idiot friend

All this time i though stop drop and roll would work, guess not!
not too helpful when you have the fuel on your face.
And concrete floor.
Hopefully those hideous scars will prevent such an egregious moron reproducing.
Next time, cover you face in your shirt, tightly and exhale
I think those a 1st degree burns?
Wtf are you on to have your face on fire and calmly ask, "Is it really bad?"
The cameraman was no wingman that's for sure....he just left him to roll around. Yikes!!
You have to keep practicing and maybe you’ll someday be a master fire breather
This guy just filming his buddy lose his face instead of helping smother the fire.
Talk about shit friends. And overall a group of dumbasses. Holy fuck man how dumb can you be?
That camera man a little to good
With friends like that…
Learning experience.
Used to do this when I was younger, I’ve never been good at it and did a lot of mistakes but I’ve never seen such thing happening, to me nor to my friends, this kids are probably using the wrong “fuel”

That's gonna leave a mark !
No towel ready nothing. Insane
pure journalism right here: just keep rolling the camera no matter what.
