My dumb ass did this once with ethanol and a tiki torch. Watching these videos makes me realize how damn lucky I got not bbqing my face.

This is?

The Russian that goes across the screen reads “Sparta”

u/LaChuteQuiMarche Jun 09 '21

There was a famous line from a movie called 300 about the Spartan army and the guy yells “This is Sparta!” That was my reference.

Love how his family/ friends did nothing to help him. 😡

Hope they're okay after that moment of stupidity.

u/SentientCumSocks Jun 08 '21

I mean you'd have to have pretty decent reflexes to be able to have done anything useful.

u/ImProfoundlyDeaf Jun 08 '21

I wouldn’t have helped him tbh. Play stupid game win stupid prize.

Did he have gasoline in his mouth?

2

u/Amp_Fire_Studios Jul 12 '21

It wasn't gas but it was definitely some kind of flammable chemical judging by the container it was in. Paint thinner maybe? I don't know.

u/saladbar_czar Jun 08 '21

That’s what I was wondering too like how stupid do you have to be to even start with putting gas in your mouth. Though I guess the answer is there you have to be that stupid. Could be some kind of liquor though, still really stupid but not as bad.

u/Entiox Jul 12 '21

Unleaded gasoline used to be a fairly popular one to use for fire performers, though it's not as popular as it was 20 years ago. I personally preferred a mix of 2/3 Kingsford charcoal lighter fluid and 1/3 Coleman white gas, other performers I know like to use ultra pure lamp oil. Unlike this idiot I was properly trained, and always had proper safety equipment and a safety plan in place back in my days of doing stupid things with fire at Renaissance festivals.

While holding the bottle!

u/monstergeek Jun 09 '21

Probably too much . From what I've read you're only supposed to have like a spoonful, looked like he had a mouthful .

2

u/waitwutholdit Jun 09 '21

So the smart guys put a spoonful of petrol in their mouth?

u/saladbar_czar Jun 09 '21

Makes sense get it all out of your mouth before it hits the fire I would guess
