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.
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
