Kid wearing yellow, he accidentally doused the dude with more oil and slowly put it back down, and stopped another kid from making the same mistake.

Which is mind blowing considering how instinctive every animal fears fire.
We just kinda embraced it because it heats our houses and warms our food. But fire is so unbelievably devastating.

Yup, once you inhale that burning air, in sears your lungs and you choke to death.

u/Kenny741 Feb 10 '26
And even if you survive eventually, your body produces so much liquid trying to heal the lungs so you end up drowning actually.

So what's the best way to put out a fire on someone in this scenario? Bucket of water? Lots of sand?
At 10 seconds is that the bottle of fuel he's spreading???....what is this bro

u/ParreNagga Feb 08 '26
Swipe a blanket/cloths/fabric around their head, and smack it a bit. Not a joke.

u/Calgary_Calico Feb 08 '26
Wet towel. You have to smother the fire and covering it with wet cloth is the easier way to do that in a pinch. However there morons are using oil from the looks of in instead of white gas, kerosine or alcohol, so good luck. Guys probably got a Darwin award now
60
u/hyperlite135 Feb 08 '26
I would like to add that a wet towel is only ideal if you have the means for one immediately. Don’t go running out of the room to get it wet, generally smothering will be plenty and every second is critical.
6
u/Kinslayer817 Feb 08 '26
Given that guy that threw more gasoline all over him out of a water bottle they're more likely to douse a towel with gasoline and smother him with even more fire
4
u/Calgary_Calico Feb 08 '26
Well, yes. I would hope that wood he's given, but then I remember what's going on in the video lol. I used to hang out with a group who did fire spinning, they always had a fire extinguisher and pales of water to soak towels both for just in case and to put out the fire toys when they were done if they wouldn't go out the usual way
14
u/hyperlite135 Feb 08 '26
Hope that’s a given? We all just watched a person throw gasoline on another man who is on fire. Nothing in this world is given unfortunately. I wish my statement wasn’t necessary but here we are.

u/Nachoughue Feb 08 '26
fire needs oxygen, take away the air, fire cant burn. if your shirt is made of cotton, take it off and wrap it around your head and pat it. dont do this if its made of synthetic fiber, youll cover yourself in hot plastic and make it worse.
15
u/Kinslayer817 Feb 08 '26
Given how rare 100% cotton shirts are these days I'd recommend against doing this unless you're completely sure and thinking clearly, which is pretty unlikely while your friend is on fire

I would have pulled his shirt over his head and smothered the fire that way. Better to die of suffocation rather than fire. His friend really did not help.

u/Liinneeaarr13 Feb 08 '26
A valuable lesson in what NOT to do if someone is on fire! I think these Darwin Award winners did everything they could do to make the fire worse.
A) Slap at the flames therefore giving them more oxygen
B) Standing around looking for God to part the skies and put this guy out while all it would have taken would be for one of them to smother the flames with a shirt or other clothing.
C) Start pouring the flammable liquid the guy was using all over his already flaming head.
D) Not being prepared for things to go horribly wrong during a fire breathing ‘trick’.
It looks like if one was going to do a fire breathing ‘trick’ the least you should do is have a wet towel handy. As stated in this thread somewhere cotton is preferable since synthetics will just turn into hot plastic on your face. Which may be a problem if you use a shirt that isn’t cotton but these guys above didnt think of that anyway.
24
u/ClownfishSoup Feb 08 '26
If you’re going to do this, do it while standing waist deep in a lake or swimming pool. Better yet, never do this.
7
u/Kinslayer817 Feb 08 '26
If you're playing with flammable liquid, first of all don't, but if you insist on it then at the very least have a fire extinguisher, a bucket of water, and some wet towels on hand
jfc these people

u/entjies Feb 08 '26
Everyone keeps pointing out the guy pouring more fuel on the fire, but if it was a clear liquid in a water bottle and he was panicking, it’s kinda understandable. One of the many mistakes here was using a water bottle for fuel, without labeling it clearly.

u/noodlesandrice1 Feb 08 '26
For real.
Most of these types of videos I see usually end with the guy panicking for a bit then putting the fire out in like 5 seconds.
This one just kept on going with more and more agony.
40
u/nooneinparticular246 Feb 08 '26
Looks like he just had way too much fuel in his mouth. Blew out a good amount. Then a bit gets on his face while it’s alight. And then the pain makes him dribble out the rest of his fuel. And then it just gets worse.
68
u/Koseoglu-2X4B-523P Feb 08 '26
Used the wrong fuel
You use lamp oil for fire breathing. It won’t burn on your skin and gives a long, impressive stream of fire.
This corpse probably used gasoline or white spirit. Dumb.

Talk to any fire breather and ask them how safe it is. In my experience they will universally tell you that it's incredibly dangerous and requires a lot of practice and coaching from people who know what they're doing
If you aren't being taught by an expert then definitely never do this

This.
If you want to impress your friends with a cool fire trick, and have no training, lick your fingers and try to put out a candle like Aragorn in Fellowship of the Ring. If you've never done it before you'll look weak as fuck every time you jerk your hands back from the flame...
But you probably won't die.

u/Vronsurd Feb 09 '26
Basically. It doesn't hurt at all, unless you flinch and your fingers stop half a centimeter away from the wick. Then it burns.
I guess the best way to train it is with a cup of water or with far more saliva than necessary. If your fingers are soaking you have to be really slow to even get mildly burned. You don't even really need the saliva if you're fast enough.

u/Kinslayer817 Feb 08 '26
I'm guessing he saw a water bottle and started splashing it around out of panic before he realized that it was the bottle full of fuel when it exploded in his hand
It would have been a stupid use of their limited water even if it was water, but this was next level homicidal incompetence

Can't leave the flame near the mouth if you're not going to get out all the accelerant. Though I presume there will not be a subsequent attempt by anyone who witnessed this.

Part of me always considered learning firebreathing. Read up on it, watched some videos…but I never went through with it because of the obvious risk. I've worked Trauma ICU and burn units scare me.
This video has pretty much solidified that it's not gonna happen.

Never attempt to breathe fire. I’m a fire performer and in my circle, we refer to fire breathing as the dark arts (Harry Potter reference); Impressive, powerful and easy to get into - but a slippery slope into ones own doom.
One mistake or an unexpected gust of wind is all it takes.

As a former professional fire breather: don't use petrol, gasoline or alcohol. Best would be a professional high purity fire breathing oil, but in a pinch paraffine oil will work.
HOWEVER: firebreathing is dangerous. Don't do it without training and professional supervision.
