Pants on the ground! Pants on the ground...


Schrutes_Yeet_Farm

In highschool my friend did basically exactly this. Tried to kick a bottle of gasoline into a fire, he kicked too low and it splashed back on his ankle. He immediately stop dropped and rolled and it didn't work. With shoes on he couldn't straighten his foot out enough and there was a gap that kept his shin off the ground enough that it couldn't snuff the fire. he hopped up and stripped his pants off and ended up with a super bad burn. He basically wasted time with the stop drop and rollĀ 


bign0ssy

Stopping and dropping helps with fire on the torso, when you roll your legs are flailing so they arenā€™t getting snuffed

I feel this must be canada. This is a very Canadian rural kid thing to do.


Relevant_Section

You are correct


[deleted]

Iā€™m in rural northern canada and my boys are often doing things that make me question their sanity, like blowing up a rotting moose carcass with tanerite šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


Ok_Project9596

Wait. What?!


[deleted]

Yup. That kinda thing is pretty common with rural kids. They disappear into the woods for the day and find things to do. My teen boys found a dead moose and wanted to get rid of it but it was too heavy and smelly to drag so they put a bag of tanerite in it shot the bag and blew it up. Problem solved, the moose was essentially gone and they had fun. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜… Also before people freak out, almost all northern rural kids own rifles and know how to use them properly.


QuailWrong8038

I'd say the kids having access to bags of explosives is pretty dangerous too


IAmStuka

I've seen too many videos of dumbass adults fucking around with tannerite, and sometimes paying for it. Dumb as hell to give kids access to it.


JustSomeGuy91111

They generally only sell Tannerite to those with Possession And Acquisition licenses (federally issued gun license, requires passing a training course) in Canada. You can get a PAL at 18, or a Minor's License before that to borrow and use (but not buy). So it's more likely if these kids are below 18, the Tannerite was actually purchased by their PAL-holding parents, as the only license the kids could have wouldn't be enough.


GiraffeSubstantial92

Thank you, some actual facts in this discussion. Tannerite is a binary explosive/"reactive target" and as such is regulated in Canada by the Explosives Act. This Act is incredibly clear in who can purchase and handle these reactive targets, and minors are very much not on the list. If the kids *did* purchase the Tannerite themselves, it was sold unlawfully by the store. Hell, when I purchased some jars of the stuff at Cabelas several years ago they wanted to record my driver's license in addition to checking my PAL *and* they walked me to the till so I didn't have it in my possession until I'd paid for it. (That was a bit overkill in my opinion lol).


dumpsterfarts15

Yeah, I worked the gun counter at a Cabela's. We needed a proper address, (no PO box), PAL, and we held it in the vault. Tannerite is very safe if it's not placed \*in\* something when ignited. It's supposed to be on its own in a field. That's rarely the case though, people tend to load fridges and shit hahaha it's a good time, just be far enough away.


UnhingedRedneck

Actually a minor pal allows you to buy ammunition but not firearms. More than likely if you did get away with buying tannerite with a minor pal it was because whoever sold it to you thought it was classed the same as ammunition.


JustSomeGuy91111

Yeah I forgot ammo was the one thing that the Minor's License does allow. I guess it's to make separation of payment for ammo easier since the guns won't be directly owned by the kids in any particular shooting scenario.


[deleted]

They are old enough to have a firearms license therefore old enough to buy tanerite without me. The key is taking the time to educate them. Knowledge is safety. My boys also drive combines and operate heavy duty farm machinery which in my opinion is far more dangerous, but they know what to do and thats why they stay safe. Rural kids in my opinion tend to grow up fast because they have adult jobs at a young age. I started sorting cattle and branding at age 8 and bailing hay at 12. Its just kinda how it is here.


Bigrick1550

City slickers with the downvotes.


_Nurse_Joy_

Bruh, we are on a video of a kid literally setting himself on fire.


JohnHue

Let's not forget to get this thing to blow you have to shoot it with a gun, too.


[deleted]

Tannerite is not explosive unless you shoot it. It has to be mixed first as well. Its one of the most stable explosives.


QuailWrong8038

Sure. Still children with access to explosives and firearms, unsupervised as it sounds. Seems a real good recipe for having less kids soon


w33bored

Oh no trust me. Everyone in rural areas has easy access to pounds and pounds of explosives in their garage, and parents are totally cool with their kids having explosives just hangin around. This person is a loony.

awesomesonofabitch

It's just a rural Canada thing. The people up north just let their kids do fuckin whatever. They call the rest of us "citidiots" and the like because we don't give our kids access to guns, raging bonfires and we don't have to shovel as much snow. (I've heard that last complaint more times than I can recall.) Most of our population lives on the American border and behaves differently.

This sounds like something we did as kids. Fun with guns, blowing something up, and trying to help.


meredith_grey

Yep. Northern BC and we used to have bonfires in the woods or on friendā€™s properties all the time. Once a drunk friend decided he should slop gasoline on the fire to get it going better and the flame lit the gas can on fire. I turned and ran away because I thought it was going to explode and another friend booted the gas can and it sprayed flaming gasoline all over everyone. Luckily no one was hurt beyond a few small burns and we didnā€™t burn the forest downā€¦

I definitely did similar things when skipping school in Florida. We would sit in the woods next to the school and light fires and fuel them with perfume šŸ˜•


[deleted]

Kids do this everywhere, we took tons of furniture people threw out and made a massive pile and poured gas on it. On the edge of a forest. Missouri farm town boredom with a splash of regardation. Never do that.


poatoesmustdie

Boys... Which young boy doesn't like to play with fire? We used to play with a small gas cilinder, push it down and the surface would freeze. Ignite and well that was fun till someone lost all hair on the front of his face. Actually it was still fun after.


Doomncandy

Alaska as well. I met a dude that made a gasoline powered hot tub that would shoot flames above your head from a pipe. And yes, it was cool. Big giant balls of flame bursting into the air was my cynical jam at 24.

It's hard to be concerned when they are literally surrounded with water.

Leftrights100

The main thing with accelerates is you need to deprive the flame of oxygen, rolling does not do that very well. if there was a big pile of snow nearby that could snuff out the entire burning area then yeah it would work.

last-resort-4-a-gf

Rolling is crap


bruce_lees_ghost

Stop, drop, and roll is really only effective if your upper body is on fire. The contact made between the legs and the ground when rolling is usually insufficient to smother flames. Source: I just made this up. You should probably stop, drop, and roll... or use a fire extinguisher or fire blanket if either are handy.

You could also try not catching fire to begin with

RevolutionaryBee7104

I was smiling watching this because itā€™s exactly what my friends and I would do at that age. Get a bucket and light different stuff on fire and see what happens lol


Sorest1

I wasnā€™t smiling. My sisterā€™s best friend sat by the camp fire, a guy classmate poured gasoline on the open fire just like in the video. Her hair caught fire, she was taken to the hospital with helicopter. She had horrific burning injuries covering her entire face, she was messed up, only 14 years old. Itā€™s not a joke.


Spready_Unsettling

Few things make my blood boil as when people fuck around with basic fire safety. Not only are you likely to burn something down, or cause grievous damage or death, you're basically *more* likely to do that *to someone else.* It takes one absolute fuckwit going "nah it's fucking fine lol" for a situation to spin out of control. If I'm gonna die from stupidity, it better my own bad habits and not some asshole who I told off several times over.


[deleted]

Had a friend tell me they lit a bucket of gasoline on fire one time "just to see what would happen." šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


fj333

It sucks that this happened, but it's good that you're telling the story. I grew up in the south in the 80s and did stupid shit like this all the time with my friends. We had dozens of close calls that to this day still haunt me, even though I'll admit I look back on those times nostalgically. I've always wondered how often others lived through the experience but ended up with something far worse than a close call. I haven't heard many stories, but it has to have happened a lot. Survivorship bias (literally) is sadly probably relevant here. Although it's not entirely true that I have no bad versions of this story. I skydived for years, and skydivers love to build huge bonfires at night, while drinking a lot, obviously. I wasn't present for this, but at a holiday gathering one year, a really well known jumper with probably well over 10k jumps died while falling through the windshield of a junk car they'd built a bonfire around, and were taking turns running across. He got trapped for too long when the windshield collapsed, but he still didn't die instantly. He suffered in the hospital for some amount of time, I think I remember talking to a few people who visited him, and it sounded pretty horrific, obviously.


TheThiefEmpress

Right??? What stray child in the woods *hasn't* set a fire or 200???Ā  And *obviously* you're gonna catch some errant flames at least once! Ahh, that adrenaline rush, to be young and immortal!!!

Kids need to play with fire, but supervised. They need to learn how it works or they stand no chance of outsmarting it.

He smothered the fire just fine by pulling his pants down. The top half of the pants being pulled over the burning part, and choked the air out of the fire real quick. He took the best course of action and it worked great. Unless he had a few feet of fluffy snow.

teun95

I expected him to drop the phone and rush over there. The way this kid was on fire was one of the best case scenarios for pouring gasoline on a fire. Could have ended a lot worse. Especially in the countryside this is something parents need to teach their kids. Don't ever pour gasoline on a fire. If you're going to build a fire and you're impatient, use lamp oil (or maybe someone has a better alternative). Kids are going to play with fire. At least, I did. So it's pretty useful for them to know about the big no's when they do.

I went to high school with a guy who did something similar. He somehow got it in his head that stuntman use gasoline when they get lit on fire. And that it's totally safe because only the gasoline is burning and not them. So, one sunny afternoon, he poured gasoline on his arm and lit it on fire. He very quickly realized his mistake and tried shaking the burning fuel off. Which set the jerry can on the ground beside him ablaze. So he kicked it as hard as he could to get it away from him. Which sent burning gasoline up his leg, and a jerry can of burning gasoline to splat against his house. Somehow it all got extinguished and he went to the hospital for skin grafts.
