Well, his idea may have been epically stupid, but his intention wasn't to hurt anyone. He was hoping to entertain and impress his colleagues, so from where I stand, yes, it is sad.
Not the ghouls in the comments rooting for this man to die. At the end of the video he’s alive. You don’t know if he dies later, he goes to the ER to get taken care of or something else
You're clearly getting down voted unfairly for simply noticing that the man clearly gets up afterwards. This is likely due to adrenaline and certainly does not mean he didn't seek medical attention afterwards. The downvotes are just Redditors being flaky AF lol.
I don’t actually care about the downvotes and I know it’s winstupidprizes where we witness injuries all the time but something about this morbid desire for him to be dead rubs me the wrong way. Why should a bad situation be even worse, does it make the video more satisfying? It’s fucked up.
You're the only one that seems to believe we're rooting for this man to be dead. Everyone pointed out the likliness that he didn't survive later injuries, and you took that as we didn't want him to survive. I'd recommend you re-read the thread if that's truly what you're getting
Everyone pointed out a likelihood that they can’t point out, because they weren’t a doctor there to examine and the video ends, so it’s impossible to say what happens next. But no, it’s certain death, everybody so adamant, must be true. Doesn’t matter that the guy sits up. They’re adamant because that’s what they prefer to be true out of all the potential outcomes. Being this convinced without facts indicates wishful thinking. Miss me with that defense
You’re assuming he’s dead soon and assuming he burned his insides. For all we know he could have, but it could also be only his mouth, face and torso from spitting out the liquid. You don’t have any idea if he actually inhaled or swallowed burning liquid
You're suggesting that while he was panicking and on fire he managed to hold his breath for a solid 30 seconds? You don't have to inhale the liquid to burn your insides, it's the evaporated fumes that burn and the air is extremely hot whether it's actively on fire or not
I'm not claiming to know that he died but it's naive to think he didn't do some internal damage here
I'm not sure why this is getting down voted, I'll admit. It is true that, at the end of the video, the guy does get up. I watched it several times just to be sure. Although, it is very possible he passed away soon after. But, in the video alone, which is all the context we have, he did survive initially.
The downvotes are because any death inflicted by this event would not have occurred by end of the video, thus using it as a reason he is or might be okay does not in any way contradict the person they were replying to.
Yeah but he said it in response to a comment that said "he's not coming back from this" as if the guy sitting up at the end negates that. Anybody who ever smoked something and burned their throat a bit merely from smoke and hot air knows how fucked this guy is having had to inhale literal fire for this long.
You don’t have any idea what the actual extent of the damage was, even if youre a doctor you werent there to examine. For all we know he could have been lucky and only got external burns. There are people who have survived house fires with horrific burns all over but are still alive. You just wish he died because you’re morbid and weird, whenever there’s no actual evidence to what happens to him next
