- woofers07, on 06/22/2009, -2/+101Do NOT put "VIDEO EXTRA: Man ‘totally engulfed in fire’" in a headline without a video of the MAN TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FIRE.
- KenSPT, on 06/22/2009, -3/+56... and to think, come election time his vote counts just as much as yours.
- Choplifter, on 06/22/2009, -2/+53This guy made it to 31 years old? Wow.
- skidork, on 06/22/2009, -1/+47Jeebus...Some people are so stupid. Everyone knows you use a gallon of gas, and then pour a trail of gasoline 20 meters away from the pit. The gas can then be lit from a safe distance.
- asgardshill, on 06/22/2009, -3/+27Did the fire touch his balls? The Darwin Committee needs to know.
- slippeh, on 06/22/2009, -4/+26Only on the Internet would people be pissed off about not being able to see a man get totally engulfed in fire for 30 seconds...
- RizenBB, on 06/22/2009, -3/+21I would rather die than suffer 3rd degree burns over 80% of my body.
- snagglefoof, on 06/22/2009, -0/+17Seriously. There's no video whatsoever.
- Coffeedemon, on 06/22/2009, -0/+17Ironically I think I learned that first from watching Bugs Bunny. Sam and his powder keg would always leave a convenient trail of black powder that could be ignited from a safe distance. A violent cartoon might have saved this guy (well, not likely, he was probably a moron anyway).
- antoniuk, on 06/22/2009, -6/+19And you wonder why people from the... wait a second this is from Massachusetts?!? How can I cement my southern stereotype if this happens in the north?!? Does this mean stupid people are everywhere and the traditional bigotry is false? Oh dear lord...
- RadicalEdward, on 06/22/2009, -0/+9"On June 15, a 12-year-old Arkansas boy was severely burned after he poured gasoline on himself and set it on fire while his friend videotaped the stunt."
I think they meant to say "...while his friend videotaped the attempted suicide." - hanban, on 06/22/2009, -1/+10i can't believe i'm disappointed not to see a man totally engulged in fire. i blame the media.
- chinaman1212, on 06/22/2009, -1/+9"Hey yall, watch this"
- jordanfstop, on 06/22/2009, -0/+8Famous last words "Hey, hold my beer."
- K4Lic0, on 06/22/2009, -0/+8“Any flammable liquid, especially gasoline, cannot be used near any open flame,” Abington Fire Capt. John Nuttall said Sunday.
Thanks for that.. - K4Lic0, on 06/22/2009, -1/+8***** yeah!
- Albumen, on 06/22/2009, -0/+6open link. read article.
- borez, on 06/22/2009, -3/+9Kill myself...WITH FIRE!
- black27696, on 06/22/2009, -0/+5FTA: "On June 15, a 12-year-old Arkansas boy was severely burned after he poured gasoline on himself and set it on fire while his friend videotaped the stunt."
Really? No, really? - bronxelf, on 06/22/2009, -0/+5The fumes ignite. The fumes are more dangerous than the liquid itself. When the fumes go up, it will go right back into the container.
- veriix, on 06/22/2009, -4/+9You're not helping your cause.
- Coffeedemon, on 06/22/2009, -1/+6"Humans are so stupid"
Frequently it is only the ones who make ridiculous generalizations on the intelligence of billions based on the actions of a single member. - 2ktj, on 06/22/2009, -0/+4"am I missing an eyebrow?"
- wrestlingnrj, on 06/22/2009, -3/+7Half a gallon, that's it? I would regularly use 5 for our fires on camping trips. Makes for a great fireball.
- asgardshill, on 06/22/2009, -1/+5The guy's a Mainiac, not a Masshole. Probably a transplanted Newfie too, so it's OK to laugh at him.
(j/k) - bigpappapunk, on 06/22/2009, -0/+4You know you're a redneck when......
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -3/+6wow people are retarded.
- CrabbyLion, on 06/22/2009, -0/+3Dang, he was on fire for 30 secs? I cannot fathom that nightmare!
- inigomntoya, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2Hey, I heard that!
-a people - inigomntoya, on 06/22/2009, -0/+275 - 80% of his body was severely burned. So there is a small chance. But, more than likely it just got his legs, arms, and face.
As stated above, we are going to have to see a video of this to prove it... - veriix, on 06/22/2009, -1/+3Yes, if someone says: “xxxxx represent!” That should be your first hint that you're not talking to a college professor.
- snagglefoof, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2Spam warning.
- theOster, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2373150/rednecks_pla ...
you can apply the general physics... - spyderfreek2k, on 06/22/2009, -1/+3"781 represent!"
Case & point? - JFitzpatrick, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2You're getting dugg down, but it *can* happen.
15 years ago I was on a construction site where they were burning some brush. It was a perfectly still and humid day. The guy poured some gas on the unlit fire, carried the gas can some distance away (I can't recall the distance accurately, but at the time it didn't strike me as unsafe) and then proceeded to toss a lit stick into the fire from a safe distance.
What followed next surprised the hell out of all of us. The stick hit the fire, the gas caught... and then this billowing "snake" of fire shot right across the site and set off the gas can with a huge boom that sent us all diving for cover.
I doubt with a thousand re-attempts at the feat we could make it happen again, but it doesn't negate the fact that on that particular day it did. Thankfully nobody was close to the supposedly "safe" gas can. - lisaawesome, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2My 70 year old father does this all the time and I wonder how he has never ended up in the hospital or dead. He refuses to stop doing it despite everyone telling him how dangerous it is!
- tenbosch, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2One bourbon, One scotch, and one beer
- pjsk8, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2I honestly opened the link hoping for a quick chuckle. WTF, you wickedlocal bastards!??
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2i see "educated" people in down town Boston abusing greyhounds that they "rescued" by keeping them in small apartments and walking them at human speed.
I also see "educated" people standing hours in line every time a new iphone is released.
there are idiots in every strata of wealth. - inactive, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2Abington/Whitman....it figures!
- Greengoo, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2You people have no appreciation of comedy.
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2 "survival of the fittest" is only part of evolution, luck or chance plays a large role too.
- JayTee44, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2You are not too smart.
- dalittle, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2flammable is not the same thing as combustible. If it says combustible on it, it can explode.
- skunkman62, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2room temperature?
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1Youtube anyone? All I get is "loading commenting interface" and a blank square.
- inactive, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1I was engulfed in rage when I found out there was no video of a man on fire. ;(
- MisterFurious, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1“Any flammable liquid, especially gasoline, cannot be used near any open flame,” Abington Fire Capt. John Nuttall said Sunday.
Sound advice. I'll never forget the equally useful and eye-opening advice given by the late George Carlin:
"Don't pour sulfuric acid on your genitals." - undervalued, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1damn, oh well, there goes my idea of fun for the night. Suppose I'm just going to have to throw a gas cylinder on the fire instead.
- undervalued, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1you only started with one?
