Some people just ain't got a lick'a sense.

 

[teepot]

Idiot. There must have been a lot more gas on that pile than what the video shows and had been there long enough for some of it to vaporize. Little pockets of vapor in the pile. So boys and girls that's how you make a fuel air explosive.

 

[Alan15578]

So clearly, you need to use an electrical starter with 20-30 feet of cord.

And then you have the one who's not merely stupid, but deliberately stupid.

He has a date with Darwin in the very near future. Buh bye...

I really wonder how we think we are the smartest species.

You don’t see dolphins covering themselves with gas and being set on fire.

 

[David Schwantz]

Because that would be cruelty to animals!

 

[David Schwantz]

Oh, a dolphin is smarter than that

 

[Azamiryou]

You don’t see dolphins covering themselves with gas and being set on fire.

On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Social Darwinism is alive and bountiful in the human race.

And the dolphins threw him back.

It's just plain Darwinism.

If you are going to use that much gasoline, the only responsible way to light it is to stand back with a Roman candle and shoot fireballs into the pile. Safety first, people!

Is that what we would call “death by misadventure”?

Or is that term only for autoerotic asphyxiation?

 

[David Schwantz]

Too bad the video did not show him getting out of the water.

The 'responsible' way is to have a human lab rat do the honors.

Hello everyone, you're watching the dangerous explosives you tube channel and today we're going to be learning how to dangerously explode petrol everywhere! Step one, dump it everywhere, step two, let it vaporize for a while. Then you're ready to explode!

 

[teepot]

I wonder if that flaming kid had any hair or eyebrows left. Probably not. How does something like that even come up. You know that stunt went out on social media. I wonder how many idiots ended up in an emergency room.

 

[MClark]

Always use diesel for arson adventures.

 

[PDawg]

Looks like it did a fine job of getting the fire started.

 

[bschultz32]

They did a highly successful series of "Jackass" movies about this kind of thing. My favorite was filling his swim shorts full of shrimp then allowing himself to be mouthed by a hungry whale shark. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Ron Soto]

well... you can't fix stupid.. sheesh.

Years ago, at a different house, I was watching TV and I heard a VERY loud whooomp that rattled my house and I assumed something bad had just happened.

My neighbor across the street used gasoline to start a fire just like this guy, but poured the gas and then went inside to get a lighter. While he was inside for a few minutes a nice large cloud of gas vapor formed. He walked up and as soon as he lit his lighter, well before he expected the fire to gently start, the area exploded.

Luckily he didn't burn down anyone's house but he did get a few burns to live with.

75% gas with 25% diesel.
Adjust the proportions with temperature (i.e. more gas for cold).
Lights easier than straight diesel.
Does not have the explosive tendencay of straight gas.
I call it 'fire juice'.

 

[OverTheTop]

My father inlaw used to use half a cup of petrol on the Weber BBQ to get it going quickly. I always ran the other way when he lit it up..

In my younger years I tried to use gas to start a pile of wet leaves to burn . Put gas on the pile but forgot
the matches. By the time I came back with the matches the gas vapors had a good start under the pile
of leaves. Lesson learned and " I am much better now " I smelled like burning oak leaves for a week !
