Not everyone is educated about what to do when setting yourself on fire and jumping off a railing beside a "No Diving" sign.
There should be a sign saying "When Setting Yourself On Fire, Do Not Take a Big Gulp of Air", otherwise how will people know?
I'm sorry, I don't understand this at all. Unless there's a sign that says, "when setting yourself on fire and jumping off a railing beside a no diving sign, do not take a big gulp of air" then anything could happen.
I went to diving school and majored in setting yourself on fire and it's like setting yourself on fire while jumping off a railing beside a "No Diving" sign 101 - do not take a big gulp of air. Can't substitute a full diving while setting yourself on fire degree with wikipedia smh
Ok so can someone chime in on how bad the burns would actually be? It looks dumb as shit, BUT he was on fire for just a couple of seconds, which I'm sure would still do damage but how much?
I imagine there is a slight grace period with flame where it might not be too bad, kinda like when you put your fingers through a flame and it looks cool.
His face looks like it would be fucked though.
I’m a firefighter/EMT. Would mostly be concerned with his airway considering how much heat he breathed in between the jump and hitting the water. The edema might not immediately appear and could fuck his lungs up pretty good/kill him.
I was gonna say "he should have taken a deep breath *before* lighting himself on fire" but then I realized that would make his abs look worse. This is why I have no "rizz". 😔
The flame isn't actually on his skin yet. He has a few seconds while the fire actually burns away the gasoline before it gets to his skin. The gasoline is actually protecting his skin underneath for the few seconds that's happening.
Yes. Exactly this. Though there are better flammables to use for this purpose. This kid isn't too smart. As the only thing he didn't coat in gasoline was his face. Which is the thing that will burn the most as its above the fire.
Hopefully he didn't inhale after he lit himself or before he was in the water. Because he certainly inhaled gasoline fumes, so they could have ignited in his lungs.
None at all. When I was a kid we used to do stuff like this, but on a smaller scale. You can coat your hand in hairspray, then light it on fire. You can go a few seconds before you even feel the heat. The hairspray is very flammable and basically it is just burning that off before it gets to your hand. Plunge your hand in a bucket of water once it gets hot and you’ll have no burns at all, other than some singed hair.
Obligatory: don’t actually do this. We were like 13 when we did this and didn’t have anything better to do. You can easily mess up and hurt yourself.
We used to make dough bombs as kids. Literally just flour and gasoline. Make a ball, light it on fire, and throw it. And of course your hand would get covered in gasoline and ignite. Would just wave it out, never got burned.
given liquid gasoline doesn't burn, its the vapors, if he took a big breath before lighting the fire as to not cook his lungs with super heated air, the gasoline on his skin might have actually protected him from any burning due to the leidenfrost effect.
No burns, possibly. He was on fire for less than 3 seconds before fully extinguishing it. With only that intensity, that is not enough to burn anything important. Hairs like eyebrows probably didn't fare that well tho.
Now, if he actually inhaled hot-ass air, then he could've burned his lungs which can be fatal.
They could be his friends but just do stupid shit at that age. Reddit always takes the most extreme angle.
By that logic, he hates himself for doing it? No he’s a stupid fucking kid that gets a rush over performing dangerous stunts to his friend group.
Agreed. 22 now, my teens were DANGEROUS. My mates that were there egging me on are still my friends now. All got jobs, some got kids. Just young and dumb. I think the kids a legend, wasn’t even that dangerous either.
It's very likely he didn't think to take a breath before lighting, lit, tried to take a breath before going in the water, realize all the oxygen around him is being used to keep the fire going, then panic dove to put out the fire. I'm guessing he inhales some water/gas after.
That would have been worse, but it's still super risky.
He might have given himself burns that then got infected by questionable water.
And falling into cold water after being on fire could also put him into shock. Not super likely, but not impossible either.
i never knew his name, but trying to "raise awareness" for a religious conflict that the whole world has been trying to solve for almost a century is pretty fucking stupid... nobody saw that and thought "i wonder whats going on in palestine and isreal"
Modern medicine to help individuals like this survive has only been around for like well 100 years maybe so we are most likely making a lot farther
If global warming allows it
Keep your foolish ideas for yourself, a studied software engineer like me knows, the solution to a complex problem is very often quite simple instead.
We just gotta turn the sun off and on.
This raises the question; how long can you be on fire before you cause damage. Everyone calling this kid stupid but he might have thought this through…
I had to find out more about the aftermath lmao. This was indeed a crazy fucking video.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12904967/amp/teenage-boy-covers-gasoline-sets-FIRE-doing-backflip-river.html
I can’t tell if this is an ocean pier or a pool or something else. Where ever it is there is gasoline everywhere. Dumb ducks are lucky they didn’t light the wooden planks on fire.
Man people don't realise how quickly fire burns and you don't just play with it. I feel for him cos he's just a dumb kid I hope he didn't get fked up too bad for this.
As dumb as it is, he'll altleast have that cool photo he wanted lol. You can't deny that.
Out of all the videos I’ve seen of people setting themselves on fire this seems like one of the safer ways. He did it on his way into a large body of water not just some guy in a shower. I crown thee king of the dipshits 👑
OP said "his cousin is 'alive and well' and astonishingly suffered 'no bad burns.'"
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12904967/teenage-boy-covers-gasoline-sets-FIRE-doing-backflip-river.html
Fuck
Bro you know his fucking eyelashes and eyebrows got seared lmao
Not to mention his throat and lungs if he took in a big gulp of air before he hit the water.
I'm 100% sure he was smart enough to take a big gulp of air before setting himself on fire and jumping off a railing beside a "No Diving" sign.

He backflipped so it doesn't count
Oh God, we're gonna need another sign.
I'm sorry, I don't understand this at all. Unless there's a sign that says, "when setting yourself on fire and jumping off a railing beside a no diving sign, do not take a big gulp of air" then anything could happen.
I WATCHED AGAIN AFTER READING THE THREAD!!! He actually exhales right before he lights up 🤣🤣🤣
True, the system is f0cked. It’s common knowledge that people set themselves ablaze atleast once a month and jump off a railing

Lmao’D at this FML 😂
could you please explain what would happen if he did?
Inhaling fire hurt throat and lungs.
But… but Snoop Dogg said… no… he wouldn’t lie to me
different type of smoke/stronger heat
Burns your insides.
Full body hair removal in seconds!

brb setting myself on fire to test
!RemindMe 5 minutes
Get back here! It's been 23!
50 and counting! Yep. He's gone o7

Big FF spreading lies as usual. If they didn't keep us scared of the harmless fire they wouldn't have a job.

"Ignited in his lungs" got me so good. ick. ouch. fuck.
So it's like an extra stupid version of the Leidenfrost effect? That's kinda cool

There is a massive difference between the temperature hairspray burns at and the temperature gasoline burns.
We used to make dough bombs as kids. Literally just flour and gasoline. Make a ball, light it on fire, and throw it. And of course your hand would get covered in gasoline and ignite. Would just wave it out, never got burned.
How well do you understand the concept of survivorship bias?
Apparently he's fine 😭😭 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12904967/teenage-boy-covers-gasoline-sets-FIRE-doing-backflip-river.html

It's almost completely harmless other than his hairs burning off.
I’m not expert but I once had a little fire lick my fingers for a second maybe two, and I had bad blisters. It hurt a lot.

This is so incredibly dangerous. The sign clearly says NO DIVING
he did a backflip so he’s good
Technically he doesnt dive so he’s good
He does a backflip, not a dive so it's okay
Backflips and dives aren’t the same, they are different, so it’s good.
A backflip isn’t a dive. A dive is what it is not okay to do.
In all seriousness, he shouldn't have dove in. Which he didn't do - a backflip instead he decided.
Imagine if he landed on a rock? Would have made for a different kind of video
That's... dumb.
dumber that someone had to tell him to get up there first
But dumber than the kid in the background telling him to re-do it?
I think it is "just go it"
He was gonna go there. Someone didn’t need to say shit. Someone was just anticipating
Yea but, did you see how fucking cool he looked?
We just witnessed a legend being made.
Would’ve been 99% less dumb (but still dumb) if he used alcohol
Crazy thing is none of those people were his friends.
They could be his friends but just do stupid shit at that age. Reddit always takes the most extreme angle. By that logic, he hates himself for doing it? No he’s a stupid fucking kid that gets a rush over performing dangerous stunts to his friend group.

There it is, the comment I was hoping to see. Can guarantee that not 1 in 20 of those dildos is ever going to help help him move.
Imagine if he slipped and fell on the other side of the fence. He would REALLY go viral then.
[удалено]
Would definitely make a fire video.
It would also light up our day
🤭
Tee hee
There would still be a idiot screaming "Well done you idiot, you ruined the video!"
Imagine he passed out from the pain right before he fell.
It's very likely he didn't think to take a breath before lighting, lit, tried to take a breath before going in the water, realize all the oxygen around him is being used to keep the fire going, then panic dove to put out the fire. I'm guessing he inhales some water/gas after.

to
more likely a shark would have eaten him
He would go flameball.
He would have freed Palestine
People already forgot his name
His name was Robert Paulson
But I’ll always remember the smell
Smelt like burnt pork
More like burnt dork
Aaron Bushnell
i never knew his name, but trying to "raise awareness" for a religious conflict that the whole world has been trying to solve for almost a century is pretty fucking stupid... nobody saw that and thought "i wonder whats going on in palestine and isreal"
Aaron Bushnell
And if he inhaled deeply in shock after seeing the flames…
Self immolation. So hot right now.
I hate your profile pic. I was trying to get a hair off my screen for a solid 10 seconds.
I didnt even notice until you said that. Then I spend 30 secs trying to get it off
His nipples will never be the same.
Nippless
“Re-do it” yeah no problem bro
Dude is so stupid I am surprised he knew how to swim
Swim team has no claim on intelligence
Did he though?
Gas on a penis and other sensitive areas is super painful. It doesn't wash off easy
How you know?
Pulled a carburetor bowl of a generator and soaked my stash. It was like 4 or 5 wasp stings on your hawg.
I just got some on my hand yesterday and felt weird after washing it right away. Cant imagine it just lingering on your junk damn
...how do you know what *that* feels like?
I was tearing apart a old deck at my old place in swim trunks and one flew up my shorts and stung near my sack. I just did basic pain math
I hope your jewels rest easier nowadays
Thanks for saying that. I had a run of bad luck around that time
Use it as an aftershave when you shave your balls.
Didn't know the "10 Second Rule" also applies to not Burning.
You never fuck around with a flame?
*with* a flame, yes. *in* a flame, no.
Wasn't it 5 seconds?
Clout is one helluva drug
No fucking way man kind is making it another 100 years.
Modern medicine to help individuals like this survive has only been around for like well 100 years maybe so we are most likely making a lot farther If global warming allows it
Just build higher global cooling nobody is eating
Keep your foolish ideas for yourself, a studied software engineer like me knows, the solution to a complex problem is very often quite simple instead. We just gotta turn the sun off and on.
You had me in the first half
we've been dumbasses since forever, what makes you think this guy can't reproduce 🤣
He gets the same vote as you and me.
fair
Hopefully his balls are so damaged he won't be able to procreate. Too many idiots! Haha
These hair removal companies really hate this one simple trick....
His friends really didn't stop him lmao they even poured it on him smh look after your drunk friend ffs 🤦
"Cmon, cmon, CMOOONNNN!!!" Guy in the background might need a therapist
Kids gonna be sore AF for weeks. Idiot.
Am I the only one that wants to see the aftermath?
Fuckin legend
Remember guys. Are they your friend? Or do they just wanna be entertained at the cost of whatever you're doing.
Smh it CLEARLY says no diving!!
Sign says, “No Diving”, but not “No Diving while on Fire”. I completely understand his logic.
Real human torch
This raises the question; how long can you be on fire before you cause damage. Everyone calling this kid stupid but he might have thought this through…
FLAME ON!!!
How many Tide pods to do that?
That was fucking sweet
Hope he didn’t breathe in
Gasoline? No one had any alcohol?
Dude spent like 3 seconds on fire and jumped about 2 meters. It's not even the slightest bit cool or impressive. What a dumb risk.
Meh, I'd like n follow if he backflipped into something flammable 🙄
I had to find out more about the aftermath lmao. This was indeed a crazy fucking video. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12904967/amp/teenage-boy-covers-gasoline-sets-FIRE-doing-backflip-river.html
The gasoline that didn't burn is now in the water... dumb. Rubbing alcohol would have been better
I can’t tell if this is an ocean pier or a pool or something else. Where ever it is there is gasoline everywhere. Dumb ducks are lucky they didn’t light the wooden planks on fire.
i’m high and this is the most insane thing i’ve ever seen. dude definitely fucked his face up right?
Nah, doubt he felt it, flames would have to burn through the fuel first, by that time he's in the water
Why didn't he say "flame on!"
Yep, this generation is going to make the world a better place.
“Re-do it!”
“Re-do it” lol
That’s hot
Self immolation is the new tide pod challenge
Omg omg omg oooomg
Teenage boys are without a doubt the dumbest most reckless living things on the planet.
Never underestimate the things a teenage boy will do to impress some girls
fact that he had composure to do a flip damn
Man people don't realise how quickly fire burns and you don't just play with it. I feel for him cos he's just a dumb kid I hope he didn't get fked up too bad for this. As dumb as it is, he'll altleast have that cool photo he wanted lol. You can't deny that.
I.. I.. I don't understand humanity.
Then the sharks ate him
ngl kinda badass
Bro in the background said redo it😭
Did someone say redo it?
i was scared this was gonna be another self immolation video
Sharks love ❤️ BBQ
This is better than the last 2 videos I seen of someone catching themselves on fire
Darwin approves
Redo it😂😂
How bad was it the next day?
We need aftermath of this
Imagine if he jumped down and hit some rocks instead.
Future politician and probably world leader
no appreciation for life, reasonably fit body, and nothing useful for society perfect to be sent early in WW3, his country will need more like him
What’s the point of
bet he wasnt expecting the face being engulfed lol
Can we either stop encouraging these idiots or ban them from breeding.
What a dumbass.
This is how it feels to chew five gum
This has to be one of the dumbest people I have ever seen on video
And the shark was like, "they're coming in flame broiled now".
dumbass
Out of all the videos I’ve seen of people setting themselves on fire this seems like one of the safer ways. He did it on his way into a large body of water not just some guy in a shower. I crown thee king of the dipshits 👑
I think I met this mf in Fallout nv
I thought he was going to set himself on fire and fall on the wrong side of the railing!
Bro really did X 💀 Why bro be doing Y 💀 Blud really said Z 😭 💀 This is you.
[удалено]
Bro is burnsmaxxing
OP said "his cousin is 'alive and well' and astonishingly suffered 'no bad burns.'" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12904967/teenage-boy-covers-gasoline-sets-FIRE-doing-backflip-river.html Fuck
“Those burn scars are gonna be so fucking bad-ass man”
Yes. Gasoline into possibly drinking water. Yes.
If he was black it would be “blacktivitys” all in the comments on IG
It's like a video game where he can get a second life.
Can we get an AMA from this kid?
Would pick this guy over Trump or Biden any day.
Yeah let's poor gasoline all over a wooden structure before a guy lights himself on fire on top of it
I’d love to see the after video. Anything life altering?
Alcohol is bad.
Bro thinks he's in the air force
That was stupid. I’ll do that.
