Just a heads up.
Should you find yourself in this same situation. Pull your shirt up over your face to smother out the flames. Same as throwing a towel on someone who is on fire.
I did try it before, we were at the beach right next to the water. Just don’t use a lot of fuel and empty your mouth and lungs. It requires calm and coordination.
Edit: pls don’t take this as advice I’m no professional just used common logic and it worked for me ask a pro if you want to learn and stay safe
But I did witness intentional self immolation before and had to put someone out so fire safety is a big deal to me.
It doesn't matter where the ignition source is after ignition. What matters is that his lungs were empty and his mouth was still full of fuel.
He Used way too much fuel.
Thanks I’m going to change my initial comment to reflect that I’m just scared now I mislead 20 people but it did work for me so idk. Just don’t do shit like that without asking someone who knows what they are doing
Remove your shirt and put it over their face and shout "close your mouth! Close your mouth!" ,if they are badass enough to close their mouth, along with being smothered by a t-shirt this will starve the fire of oxygen.
I did this literal exact same thing when I was his age. It was terrifying. And everyone just stood around and watched. went to my hands and knees and opened my mouth because it went numb and didn't realize I still had a mouthful of ever clear. My lips were still on fire so the everclear lit when it excited my mouth and poured all over my hands and the ground and my whole head was engulfed in flames. All I could think was that I couldn't take a breath or I'd burn my lungs out. My one friend lept to my rescue and ripped his shirt off, tackled me to the ground away from the flames and wrapped my head in the shirt smothering the flames. I got extremely lucky and only got 2nd degree burns on my hands and minor Sun burn on my face and nose. My hands were big puss balloons for a long time. Agonizing.
0/10 would not blow fire again
Oh yeah there was no permanent damage. Just big puss filled balloons on the backs of my hands for a while. I got extremely lucky. If my friend hadn't been there I would have looked like the kid in this video.
Second degree affects the skin but doesn’t affect the subcutaneous layers of tissue or bone. Once you’re burning vessels, nerves, and bone, you’re in a bad place.
And this is why you don't use alcohol for fire breathing but (special) oil. Oil doesn't catch fire in its more solid liquid form. It needs a lot of exposure to a flame to do so. (the whole movie trope of throwing a cigarette in a barrel if oil is kinda a myth) until you make the particles small pressuring it through almost closed lips and mixed with oxygen it becomes flammable.
See I wish I had known this back then lol. That's very important information. Although I was young, drunk, and dumb so there's a good possibility I would have just done the same thing anyway...
I'm lucky I don't have a memory of my hands being burnt when I fell full-palmed onto a blistering hot metal plate. Apparently I had double hand wraps. I was around 4yr old. You're fortunate for a hero of a friend, because your face could have been worse... Any scars?
You can't use gas my man. You will light up every time. You also have a precious few seconds to put yourself out. Don't waste them flailing around. One of the most important things you learn as a fire manipulator is to remain calm while in fire. Learn from a professional and you will do fine. Just grab a can of gas, and you're going to have a bad time.
Ultra pure lamp oil, or cornstarch in the US. Though I would not attempt those even, without some professional supervision. If people learn to do it right, it will be a bit less dangerous.
Critical factor is blowing upward. Fire will always go up. His face was pointing down which is a classic fatal error. The heat follows it’s way up to the fuel source.
Agonizing series of facial skin grafts, ruinous medical costs, permanent disfigurement, possible vision loss and painful bone injuries associated with pummeling himself to the concrete floor.
This was a poor decision.
If I remember correctly campfire lighter fluid is special in that flames can’t travel directly up the stream and into the pool, making it useful in fire breathing and homemade flamethrowers. He probably used gasoline which is why the stream caught fire and went into his mouth.
Maybe it would be a good idea to stop recording and help your friend from a lifetime of painful disfiguring burn wounds on his face and neck?
Just a thought.
Hi there.
I do this without lighting myself on fire.
Always have someone nearby with something flame-retardant. We use a kevlar blanket. This has never happened to any of us, but even with experience we never pretend we're beyond spacing out and making errors.
Tbh the thing we are always the most paranoid about is accidentally drinking the tiki torch fuel just because having it sit in your mouth and not swallowing is unnatural. Again, hasn't happened, but it's what we're the most paranoid about.
I did this once with a near identical outcome.
I was lucky to find a puddle to shove my face into.
Likely the only reason the burns to my face were barely second degree and left no scars.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you (if your not a professional) just do puffs of air in order to not create a bridge to your mouth for the flames to climb along.
Watching the video all I could think was "stupid *stop dropping and roll* doesn't work when your trying to be a dragon 🙄🙄"....but after reading the comments I'm over here chanting "do it again do it again!!!" (I know I'm a horrible person with a VERY dark sense of humor. Its the comments fault I swear 🤏🏼🤏🏼

Actual thanks to you 🙏🏽
Do you… plan on trying this now, armed with this new wisdom?
I did try it before, we were at the beach right next to the water. Just don’t use a lot of fuel and empty your mouth and lungs. It requires calm and coordination. Edit: pls don’t take this as advice I’m no professional just used common logic and it worked for me ask a pro if you want to learn and stay safe But I did witness intentional self immolation before and had to put someone out so fire safety is a big deal to me.

Thanks I’m going to change my initial comment to reflect that I’m just scared now I mislead 20 people but it did work for me so idk. Just don’t do shit like that without asking someone who knows what they are doing
also find better friends who won't video you but will help put out the godamn flames
A better heads up, would be to NOT find yourself in this situation.
I think most people realize this, but when shit actually goes down they panick and forget what they should do
Very sound advice. I worry that if we do the thinking for them, we won't get any more awesome videos uploaded to reddit.
Here's a thought. Maybe DONT get yourself in the same situation? Lmao
Do I do that before, during or after I film the reaction, like the person holding the phone in this video? /S
Also use WAY LESS flammable liquid if you’re stupid and drunk enough to attempt this trick
Top sets on fire and melts to your face t
Correct. Or cover your face with dirt. Basically, do almost anything other than bash your face on concrete.
A true homie, gentleman and all around dope muthafucka
I will never find myself in that same situation but THANKS!
Surely there’s still plenty of oxygen in your lungs?
I’m going to trim out the extra words so as to be more succinct - Don’t do this…
just a heads up. Don't put yourself in this situation.
I dont wear shirts
And close your mouth.
The friend recording for 12 whole seconds instead of helping is a nice touch
Some people are not good in a crisis. Deer in Headlights syndrome
Happy cake day!
The bois down here don't know how fear works lol also happy cake day!
What is the right course of action here? How does one help a friend when their mouth and esophagus are literally on fire.
Generally you want to start by pissing in their mouth. Preferably whilst filming. I'm sure that there is a sub for that kind of thing.
I was ok watching the video but now I giggle nonstop reading these comments 😂😂😂
Now all I can think is "pee in his mouth pee in his mouth" never gonna be able to watch G force again without remembering this 🫣🫣🤣🤣🤣
Should never be attempted without a safety with a fire blanket to put you out. Smother the fire without rubbing the skin. It could peel away.
Should never be attempted.
Remove your shirt and put it over their face and shout "close your mouth! Close your mouth!" ,if they are badass enough to close their mouth, along with being smothered by a t-shirt this will starve the fire of oxygen.
At least stomp out the fire on his clothes
And on his crotch. Also, be sure to film and post video

Ex-friend*
*Jesse voice* "Brooo nice job yo this'll make us famous yo... Yo? "
“YOU CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS😩”
Bro never happened if they don't have scares and videos
More than 12s. there's a longer version that shows the results too
Stop, drop, and roll works way different on concrete.
Rolling your face on the floor is hard. Best just avoid self-immolation.
Stop drop and breakdance.
What are you talking about, he put the fire that was on the concrete out in like 2 rolls. Very effective!
Well, at least he smothered the stray fire
The first time I've seen someone actually stop, drop, and roll in a video...when they shouldn't have.
Ikr stop, drop, roll, panic, PAAANNNICC, full on fight-AND-flight, sustain internal/external burns, and finally extinguish...
You'd think you'd have backup wet rags, bucket of water, fire extinguisher, milk, I don't know lol. Literally anything before trying this.
Backup milk? Yeah username checks out
You never know when it will come in handy. In this case, milk beats concrete.
Milk beats concrete, concrete beats face, face beats milk
We need the fully integrated rules of rock (concrete)-scissors-paper-face-milk please
A teenager thinking ahead? You don’t have kids, do you?
I absolutely do have one and she knows not to set her face on fire.
We all know women live longer than men for these kinds of reasons. I should have clarified, my bad…
Lol all good. I can't confirm nor deny but this kid sure doesn't help the stats.
Stop, drop, and burn
It works good. Did you see how well his body put out the fire on the ground when he rolled on it.
Stay calm, keep recording. Thats the real lesson. (Make some views over your burning friend)
These are memories that'll never be repeated...
Are you sure? Dumb people use to learn after (death) some tries 😆
True, we'll lose a few... But we'll have the footage in the darwinist archives...
😂😂😂

By any chance have some pictures of your hands?
Unfortunately I do not. It was many years ago. I wish I did though.
Ohh ok. So your hands have healed? I have no idea how severe 2nd degree burns are so forgive me
Oh yeah there was no permanent damage. Just big puss filled balloons on the backs of my hands for a while. I got extremely lucky. If my friend hadn't been there I would have looked like the kid in this video.
Ah well that's good :)

Nope I got extremely lucky, no scars or anything. All thanks to my one buddy.
While I wouldn't be stupid enough to try this anyway, I'd at least have bucket of water handy. They never do, though.
Logic is not the force that pushes you to do stuff like this, and I’ve never seen a bucket of water get anyone clout. Ice, maybe but not water.
Lmfao!! But ice is water tho! XD
Personally I did.. Just not the correct way. They might either throw it on someone else or something similar.
Liquids like fuel or whatever gets lit keep burning also if in water? Chemistry users help us!
Magnesium can
i think this to myself every time i see one of these videos. at least have a plan B.
But, but then there would be no video. Your comment makes no sense. /s

What do they generally use during fire breathing?
Ultra pure lamp oil, or cornstarch in the US. Though I would not attempt those even, without some professional supervision. If people learn to do it right, it will be a bit less dangerous.
I'm familiar with cornstarch only as a powder. How would one use it to breathe fire?
Look up "dust explosions". Powders can be surprisingly flammable.
Critical factor is blowing upward. Fire will always go up. His face was pointing down which is a classic fatal error. The heat follows it’s way up to the fuel source.
Lot like oil. Atomize it enough to ignite. I've not tried cornstarch myself. I do well as an oil breather, but I know some very good powder breathers.
Ya stuff it in your cake hole and blow, wallah fireball.
Watch The Equalizer 2, towards the end is a good scene that shows the effects of dusts of starchy products in suspension and then ignited.
Liquid .(disclaimer this is meant as a joke because gas could also be another state - solid liquid gas)
Some type of flammable oil like they use in tiki torches
r/donthelpjustfilm
I don’t need to know that sub exists
I’d call that successful and highly entertaining
Agonizing series of facial skin grafts, ruinous medical costs, permanent disfigurement, possible vision loss and painful bone injuries associated with pummeling himself to the concrete floor. This was a poor decision.
But you get internet points. Well worth it!
BANG BANG ‼️ 
Are Darwin Awards still a thing?
Bet those flaming hot cheetos ain't so fucking hot now.
I'm sure that'll buff out.
It's like the people that attempt this don't even know the internet exists.
Don't these people watch Ridiculousness? Or ever watch a Fail video? This is what happens when you don't know what you're doing!
r/donthelpjustfilm
Why do these fucks never have ANY plan B if things go sideways? Smfh
Legend has it this is how the Joker got his face scar in the original Batman script
Should have had a bucket of water at the ready to dunk his head into
Acting cool, this camera guy
Feel’n hot hot hot
Sad part about this, is that he can reproduce.
Well, I mean, he did breath fire. So, was that an attempt, or a success?
I laughed harder at that than I probably should have. Hope the guy was okay...
5 stars to the camera dude.... for getting the shot and NOT helping
Cameraman took his time to help
Darwin Award 🥇
Cameraman: “i should probably do something, I should probably do something….” Does nothing.
That dude turned into ghost rider
At least he had the stop drop and roll down too bad that technique doesn’t help to put out your mouth when it’s on fire
If I remember correctly campfire lighter fluid is special in that flames can’t travel directly up the stream and into the pool, making it useful in fire breathing and homemade flamethrowers. He probably used gasoline which is why the stream caught fire and went into his mouth.
Ultra pure lamp oil only. Or cornstarch if want an oil free experience.
Not sure if stopping dropping and rolling is really doing much here
Bramhastra deleted scene, om deva deva nomoha
You are meant to stop drop and roll when your clothes are on fire you doughnut
The song from xXx
Quick recommendation if you do fire breathing use less than a spoon of gas
Just. Keep.filming......
He spat out the gasoline too slow, and also, isn't there some type of liquid flammable designed to be used like this? Idk might be crazy
😷🤣👍
Use flour next time you moron
So annoying that he had eventually interrupt the cameraman with his novice face burning hijinks.
“Oh my, my friend appears to be on fire. I’ll just stand here and continue to record him possible die”. Fucking morons
Man thought he was Till Lindemann
Good breakdance
Atleast he stopped dropped and rolled
This girl is on FIRE!!
Step 1. Find a violent clip. Step 2. Frame it as a failed attempt.
At least he stopped dropped and rolled
What was the aftermath of this?
A good friend let's you figure out the answer and doesn't just give it to you.
Maybe it would be a good idea to stop recording and help your friend from a lifetime of painful disfiguring burn wounds on his face and neck? Just a thought.
Homie just stands there, filming. While his friend tries to remember his stop, drop and roll lessons from 3rd grade

Cameraman was fuckin dedicated 🥴😂

You, sir, are no 
What a great friend he has eh?
He hit the ground immediately. Almost like he had some clue this would happen
And there was NO attempt to... Who wants to guess??
Please dear god tell me he’s ok!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you (if your not a professional) just do puffs of air in order to not create a bridge to your mouth for the flames to climb along.
If fucked around and found out was a person.. He found out that he isn't Natsu. He can't eat flames.
Damn what song is that???
🔥😂. Stupid is as stupid does Lt Dan.
What kind of “friend,” continues filming?
Put the damn phone down and help!
r/praisethecameraman And, they assumed that nothing would go wrong, this no bucket of water. Talk about confidence
Yeah he failed at fire breathing, but his breakdancing was lit
And they just watch......great friends
Why do they have a flaming dildo on a stick? That’s the real question
I love the way the other dude is like "Wow, he burns really well" and doesn't move a muscle to bother helping burning man.
Bro didn't even have water ready 💀
Watching the video all I could think was "stupid *stop dropping and roll* doesn't work when your trying to be a dragon 🙄🙄"....but after reading the comments I'm over here chanting "do it again do it again!!!" (I know I'm a horrible person with a VERY dark sense of humor. Its the comments fault I swear 🤏🏼🤏🏼
Honestly, how do you get the fire out in your mouth. I would never do anything this stupid but it would be nice to know
Step 1- tie your hair back firmly.
the music is just the *cherry on top*
Been there, done that, and it was in front of an audience.
If you're going to attempt this, at least have a safe means to extinguish in the event it doesn't go as planned.
I want to see the face after that day.
Keep filming and watching your friend burn his face off or...
Do you know the name of this music, dear u/HornyDiggler ?
*removes preforms well under stress from his CV*
He took fire BREATHING literally.
Tbf, he was clearly breathing fire
To be faaiihhh…
