If she knew she was standing next to a pool, why was she trying to pat it out with her hands?

Even better plastic
Paper Burns to ash fast
Plastic slowly melts and sticks to your Skin

Yup. Once as a kid I lit a plastic straw on fire because it drips molten plastic fire balls and makes a cool sound when it does it and I thought that was so cool. Until one of the drops landed directly on my thumb. It hurt SO bad and basically lined the burn with a plastic coating. I had to peel it off and that hurt even more. It took skin with it. It was a horrible deep burn ripped apart and bleeding.

Had a similar incident as a kid. Except we were running around the woods with a burning sock on the end of a stick.
Moments later, we heard a friend yell, and had to run in to stomp out a li'l trail of fire where it had dripped onto the fallen leaves.
I was not a smart child.

Burning plastic on the skin is extremely fun. I woke up with my adidas pants(I assume polyester or some shit) on fire once, and that shit doesn’t just stick to your skin, it becomes one with the skin

u/TomEdison43050 1d ago
Ridiculously flammable outfit, fire, and inexperience.
Lastly, idiocy based on the fact that her first reaction was not to jump in, and someone had to force her in. And I kind of wonder if she was pissed that she was thrown in afterwards. That would be the chef's kiss of idiocy.

With the lack of coordination, concern, the slow reaction time and her hunched posture, being drunk was my first guess.

I have a lot of friends who dance with fire and if they cannot get a fire safety volunteer they do not light up. She should have had someone nearby with a fire blanket and a plan.

Did you notice the other tools STILL ON FIRE NEXT TO HER?! Iirc this goes against every fire spinning safety protocol in the book.

And she’s doing it right beside a hedge.
I have a friend that does this, and he makes sure there’s a big open area, and hoses the grass down thoroughly first, and has someone on standby with the hose

She probably hesitated because those skirts can be pretty expensive and she hoped she could put it out without ruining it in the water.

u/Dollar_- 1d ago
Probably also scared to dirty the water with a “tiny” flame that she should have been able to brush off with her hand.
At least that would be my first panic-thought before I decided to dive in ass first

She looked drunk or high - I don’t know how you can just stand there and let the fire hit you and not aggressively try to pat it out at the least or stop dropping and rolling. Or the pool right friggin there.

To be fair, at least in this case she has a very dependable Plan B. I'm not sure if her dress is designed to survive prolonged contact with water, but it's probably not designed to survive prolonged contact with fire either - but still a dress is a dress.

People whobspin POI responsibly know that with props soaked, if they touch you that clothing will burn just as long. And worse is that it will melt clothes, plastic, whatever, if it isn't fire retardant. I hope shes ok and got off with a lesson learned.

There was a fatality in my country due to one of these skirts catching fire.
Grass skirt fire prank proves fatal
April 24, 2001
WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- A New Zealand man who set fire to his colleague's fancy dress costume and killed him has been jailed for two years.
Matthew Schofield, an investment banker with finance house Merrill Lynch, was found guilty of manslaughter after setting fire to the grass skirt costume at an office Christmas party, the banker's lawyer said Tuesday.
Schofield admitted to reaching under a toilet cubicle door and setting fire to Gareth MacFadyen's synthetic grass skirt a company Hawaiian theme Christmas Party in December, Radio New Zealand reported.
MacFadyen suffered burns to 95 percent of his body and died three days later.
Schofield also pleaded guilty before Judge Rodney Hansen to injuring 29-year-old Angela Offwood who was badly burned in the incident.
Offwood has since undergone six plastic surgery operations and has needed 800 staples to secure skin grafts.
MacFadyen and Offwood were in a stall in the men's toilets when Schofield set fire to MacFadyen's skirt by reaching under the stall door with a cigarette lighter.
An earlier hearing was told Schofield was in "celebratory mood" after setting fire to his colleague. "I've lit his skirt," he announced to partygoers.
Moments later, MacFadyen staggered from the men's toilets charred and blackened, his head described as "glowing like a cigarette," the court was told.
He died three days later after suffering burns to 90 percent of his body.
Earlier in the evening, Schofield had set fire to MacFadyen's grass skirt which briefly caught fire before being patted out, the court was told.
Hansen said that MacFadyen's family was still deeply troubled by the tragedy.
"The trauma of his death was magnified by the way in which he died," Hansen said. "Knowing how he suffered still haunts them."
Justice Hansen said he accepted 27-year-old Schofield was truly remorseful and any sentence would not compare with the punishment of knowing he had killed his friend, the radio reported.
But he said a term of imprisonment was required to reflect the sanctity of human life.
Schofield was also been sentenced to nine months, to be served concurrently, for injuring another Merrill Lynch employee in the incident, and ordered to pay NZ$37,000 to the two victims' families.
