CAUTION! The contents of this video are a graphic depiction of a fire safety demonstration gone awry. What you will see is proper fire safety techniques under extreme circumstances. The people in this video are trained professionals, and handle this fire accident with incredible precision, and all parties involved are currently in good health. Although it did not appear in the video that anyone was seriously injured, the individual doing the demonstration did incur 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns to his entire head (including his face), and to both arms. Due to proper and constant training and drilling, there was no airway damage (victim completely cut off all breathing while he was on fire as a result of fire-breathing training). Due to proper and immediate after-care (this video cuts out seconds before the individual {myself} excuses himself to seek said medical attention), the majority of the heat convected and radiated into the victims body was wicked out with ice water and cold-packs. Emergency care was required.

No matter how many times you do something without incident, there is always an inherent risk when playing with fire. 2. Do not USE an item which is not specifically designed as a fire prop AS a fire prop. 3. With proper safety training and technique, even the worst scenario (an entire persons body being engulfed in flame) can result in minimal damage, and can change what would be a life-threatening situation under most circumstances into a manageable emergency. 4. It is NEVER okay to play with fire without a properly trained safety. 5. Pushing the risk envelope in fire manipulation is one of the many ways we learn our limits. Choosing the setting for these experiments is equally as important as deciding whether the inherent risk in any action is an acceptable one. 6. Spinning two duvatynes soaked in white gas is inadvisable under even the best of circumstances. 7. When you play with fire...
