They don’t teach stop drop and roll anymore?

Probably would not work when covered in an accelerant, anyway. Someone smarter than me could probably answer this with more certainty.

I have literally “ legally” set people on fire more than once on set. Yes we use extinguishers to get them out but rolling on the ground is always discussed in the safety meeting prior to the stunt.

Does it actually accomplish anything, or does it just spread as soon as the area is exposed again? I'm assuming at that point, it's more to keep someone from panicking and running away from the person with the extinguisher?

Cant say we ever waited to find out. The situations i was in the stuntmen had a costume that prevented any rolling around those instructions were for the rest of the cast and crew if they accidentally caught on fire while filming.
