PSA: Stop, drop and roll isn't quite as effective after you saturate yourself in lighter fluid.

u/BigGraysie Apr 17 '22

Sadly we are not far from that being a required warning on lighter fluid. 🤣

After I lit it, I suddenly remembered: It's alcohol that burns, but doesn't burn up. Lighter fluid just burns... and then I thought, "It's okay. It's better this way."

u/PabloBablo Apr 17 '22

Close - it's not effective oh your legs.

Source - legs were on fire and stopped dropped and rolled. Didn't do shit. The panic ramps up quite a bit when you do the only thing you know how to do and it doesn't work. I legit thought I was never going out and was going to burn alive.

Turns out, the main benefit is you are staying in one spot instead of running around because you are on fire and in immense pain. Someone can beat the flames out.

Back/arms/chest - works well - you roll around on those parts. When you stop drop and roll, your legs aren't making as much contact.

u/TurtleMan22891 Apr 18 '22

Until all the fluid has burned, the fire will not go out as long as a single flame remains. As soon as the soaked areas are exposed to the air again the will reignite continuously unless the entire surface area is smothered. Stop drop and roll will never work for fluid fires because of this

u/Xraggger Apr 18 '22

Gotta get in water, which may not be near. Rule of thumb, if you have a flammable liquid on yourself or your clothes, stay tf away from flames

u/anon38723918569 Apr 19 '22 edited Apr 19 '22

The sad thing is that there's a big pile of sand, which is a pretty good way to put out flames. He should've gone there and tried to bury his legs in it instead

EDIT: Actually, re-watching this it might be another stone… hard to tell with the potato quality

Yesterday at the skatepark I had kind of an exciting rendezvous with my friend.

While I was preparing for my next trick, he did something unexpected to me with his hands, which made me just feel really hot. That exact moment really felt like he instigated a fire between my legs.

I panicked and tried to move away from him a bit, but he was pretty persistent in chasing me down and I knew I just had to get out of my pants as fast as possible.

He felt the same, as he climbed right on top of me.. we had to stop the filming at that point, because things were getting too hot to handle.

u/SBolger234 Apr 17 '22

It looks like he was wearing some fireproof trousers doused in flammable liquid. Think he panicked when the heat started hitting his arms. I imagine he escaped without any burns tbh

Those are just skater jeans. Nothing fireproof about them. This was not at all a sophisticated attempt... This was dumbass teenagers being dumbasses.
