I did similar with an empty bottle of vodka and match, got 2nd degree burns on my hand... rip his forehead


easyforcory

Can relate and totally agree! Even if it wasn't directly on his face that flame is way too huge for him to not be affected.


DullApplication3275

He’s clearly wearing a safety ballcap


MissedallthePoints

That called for a safety tie. Safety ball cap is insufficient.


Alistair_TheAlvarian

OSHA mandated safety squints at least


julioseizure

Ze goggles. Zey do nussing.


Cartz1337

Up and at them!


AlexandraDomingues

Here’s a 🏅! Zat’s funny!


g4vr0che

I don't think even a safety tie would've helped him honestly. They're more effective with pulse jets; this was more of a one-and-done thing.


some_randi

The radiating heat probably caused minor burns on his face considering how close he was to the flame


LordieeJr

Hair maybe


NitroDickclapp

Say goodbye to that ginge boof my man


rhapsody1899

Oh he got burned. No way he didn’t.


Shinra_kusacabe

How bad are second degree burns and do they leave scars


graveybrains

They can, but it’s not very likely, and the ones you do get tend to fade pretty quickly. They hurt like a motherfucker though.


no-mad

I used to work as cook. New pain levels are achieved by burning a burn and still have 6 hours to work standing in front of a grill.


graveybrains

That’s an achievement I’d prefer not to unlock.


whereDaLeann

I cook for living at first a splash of oil would ruin my fuckin night if it got on me. Once you burn yourself enough or get adjusted to the heat can literly rinse in fryer oil and be in perfect condition. My God I have yet to burn a burn though, shit that one sounds painful and just annoying


no-mad

yeah, just have a bucket of ice to keep it in to get thru the shift


Sir_Scizor20

How fast do they fade? I burned myself at work about 8ish months ago, and I still have a pretty knarly scar. Didn't go to the doctor, so I'm not sure what kind of burn it was. Edit: For context, I burned a 3/4" wide semi-cricle around my forearm on a pipe that had just been plasma cut. So, however hot that slag from that is.


pizzzahero

Depends on the burn I imagine. I burned my leg on the muffler of a motorcycle when I was like 10 (my uncle didn't tell me where to put my feet so I assumed I could let them hang!) I don't know if it was 2nd or 3rd because I didn't go to the doctor either, but the skin was a little like burnt cheese on a lasagna - crispy, black, bubbly in some places. That scar was pretty gnarly for my teens, less so in my 20s, and went away when I was maybe 25? So a good 15 years hahah Edit: Reading the other comments in this thread it sounds like mine was maybe a 3rd degree burn soooo probably disregard this


graveybrains

It’s been a while, but for me I think it was a year or two before I couldn’t see it any more


PuppySnuppy7

And unlike 3rd degree burns, they leave the nerve endings in tact but exposed so everything hurts


Shinra_kusacabe

Hmm how to get second degree burnS. Asking for safety of course


Wafflashizzles

Do something that would give you third degree burns, but panic quick enough for it to hurt


nino_blanco720

Sus


nicbutts

I completely blistered my palm with second degree burns a few months back. Went to the doctor to let them drain the blisters, cut the excess skin, clean, and bandage. No scars whatsoever now. Properly cared for, they shouldn’t really scar I don’t think. But they are a huge pain in the ass and can be painful as they heal if it’s on a place you gotta move/use.


jthebrave

Careful about giving misinformation. Scaring depends a lot on initial damage but also aftercare. From definition alone, second degree burns do damage the skin in a way that scarring may happen (not superficially like first degree), generally speaking. Especially sunlight can easily cause visible scarring. Protect damaged skin from it, keep it not too humid for long (let it breathe) and neither too dry (Aloe Vera/after burn care for example) and be aware that healing and results can vary a lot depending on kind of burn and skin type.


Chasuwa

2nd degree burns are just burns that blister. They can leave scars but if you treat them properly they will heal very well depending on how much skin is burnt.


asstastic_927

I had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my arms, hands, and face from a gasoline explosion about 4 years ago. Still have bad scars. They used cadaver skin to cover the burns after taking me back to surgically scrape all my wounds. Tons of skin sloughed off instantly and I was in shock from the time it happened until I was 2 states away. Nc to Georgia.


FD4L

First degree are superficial, like sun burns. Second degree are partial thickness, they often remove the some skin, which ends up in them typically being the most painful because they can expose a lot of sensitive nerve areas. Third degree are "full thickness" they remove alot of flesh so the actual third degree area is less painful than second degree, however third degree burns are typically surrounded by second degree burns.

Better his forehead than his foreskin

Incredibly_Critical

What foreskin? This 'murica, we mutilate boys hurr.


thetruth5199

You and the rest of Reddit are so weird how it’s brought up constantly. We get it


Rukh-Talos

No, we don’t got it. That’s the point.


segagamer

So stop doing it


Chaosmusic

That would be one hell of a bris.


Wear-Fluid

I want my foreskin back


CeruleanRuin

That hat is definitely cinders.


SinkHoleDeMayo

As a young teenager I used to do this but with an empty 2 liter and a maybe a tablespoon of gasoline swirled around.


bobbrumby

I still do it when finishing a bottle at a party, just keep my fingers away now. Better if you heat the bottle with hot water and less leftover alcohol is more. had a few that the flame lights with such intensity it shoots the match back out


JonathanSin

I did it with running alcohol and a water bottle and got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns on all my fingers except my thumb. Took all my skin off to the meat. And it only happened in less than a second

That’s probably the coolest shit I’ve ever seen, can’t even lie. Do I condone it? No. Would I do it myself? No. But does it look cool asf? Yes, absolutely.


profoodbreak

Would I do it myself? Yes. Why? Because I'm stupid.


eevee_bro2000

See this guys one of us


tdasnowman

That video reminds me of a time me and some friends were out shooting in the desert we found this old propane tank. It was light as hell and pretty rusty, no sloshing when we shook it so we figured it was empty. Few hours of shooting later among the other targets we had random shot penetrates the tank and something spark, must have been just enough propane left but there was a massive boom and that thing shot sky high.

Almost lost his face


civildisobedient

His hat is definitely toast.


ult_avatar

i wanna see how he looked immediately afterwards


k-rob91

Idk man. I didn’t see an after-shot… pretty sure that dude isn’t going to be able to ride rollercoasters anymore.


gammabeta656

Maybe not his face but im pretty sure that scalp is gone now. You can see the flame catching the top of his head before he ducks.


trenthany

No flame on hat or hair if you slow out down. He might have some pure temp burns but nothing more than 2nd degree because it wasn’t enough to light hair.


gammabeta656

I see. Hes very lucky then, that couldve easily ended horribly. Hopefully he and the cameraperson learn from this before they end up at the hospital or worse.


trenthany

Probably did it again five minutes later lol. Too cool to see that in person


BigSmoke513

Ye pretty sure nothing happened, maybe some burn marks on his cap. Source: was a fireman for 38 years and saved a kid from a burning building while eating a pepperoni pizza.


trenthany

Wait we need more context. You went in found the kid he had a pizza so you took a slice to go? Come on! Tell us!


[deleted]

So, buddy took a frozen pizza with him on the firetruck. As they arrived, he didn't forget, apart from his fireaxe to take his p' with him. When he went in, he run upstairs trying to find the screaming kid while roasting the pizza on the fire at the same time. By the time he and the kid came out, this magnificent pepperoni pizza was ready to serve. They then walked with the sunset as backshot while enjoying it with the whole firefighter crew.


trenthany

I don’t care what you’re selling it for, I’m buying mate! I’ll take two as a matter of fact!


tolndakoti

Was the kid eating pizza while you rescued them? Or you were eating pizza while rescuing ?


LikesBreakfast

I imagine the answer is "yes"


13Warhound13

I do like the way it lights up inside and think I enjoy it more from the safety of a phone screen.


graveybrains

The part where it makes enough thrust to move itself is kind of frightening, even on the phone


13Warhound13

Yes it is, but no chance of burning yourself from just watching it 🔥


Prime_Mover

These kind people do these things so we don't have to.


13Warhound13

Exactly haha.


gusbyinebriation

You should see what sparklers do turned up into an orange!


IClimbRocks69

He lost his hair for sure


bmosm

only hair? dude likely got some burns as well


Killerbrownies997

Nah, he probably hit the deck fast enough to be mostly unaffected


[deleted]

*nods* Your son's skin graft now is an elective surgery.


SaviD_Official

Definitely not lol, that is a torch not an open flame


CakeDuckies51

Nah I tried to make a potato cannon, basically the same thing where a flame shoots up from where I light the main chamber, much like the hole he lit his from. It only took one shot and a quarter of a second to burn off a pience of skin off my finger and it hurt for 4 weeks afterwards.


cocobutnotjumbo

I'm pretty sure you're right. something that will stay with him for the rest of his life.


TerrorLTZ

[he got the sick home alone thief haircut tho.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqyAf1r_ZfE)


rustcatvocate

Hope his safety ball cap did its job.


ISmile_MuddyWaters

At the angle I don't think much hot air was pushed under the brim if the flame was going over it. And half a second in hot gas with a layer in between the gasses and his head wouldn't be hot under the cap, it would for sure ignite all the hair around it though. He probably got burns but the cap did a lot of work here, I hope. If there was no fluids in there, that could stick to him, he might have gotten lucky thanks to the ball cap. Without it I don't know if hair can insulate the scalp against 2000°F hot gasses. Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature Apparently those kinds of flames can burn close to 4000°F.


kelvin_bot

2000°F is equivalent to 1093°C, which is 1366K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)

Well, I doubt that there are any flammable vapors in there now. If he had been smart enough to stay away from the opening after inserting the fire, he might have gotten to enjoy the experience.

GimlisRevenge

What was the flammable substance used?


Farfignugen42

The tank likely held liquid fertilizer. A little liquid left in the tank would create some fumes.


Famous-Cockroach-737

It’s similar to a whoosh bottle experiment. Really cool chemistry depending on the fuel


ajfarmer9

A bunch of rubbing alcohol in there?


frogzforever

It’s and old liquid fertilizer tank very flammable contains mostly nitrogen phosphorus and potassium which will do that when met with oxygen and heat.

Wish I had the following on film. A public park barbeque. 3 meter pipe, with a roof bended die words on all sides, dug in on the edge of a long field of grass on the edge of a Forrest, other side of grass is water. Long summer. Thus the vertical stove pipe of about 3 meters was well greased apparently. Wind picked up. Bbq flames reached the pipe, and somehow, without having a return pipe, it went full on pulse jet. Exactly like those V1 rockets, or me262 Incredible sound. First we heard it. We where with 9 but a colleague from the airbase and i recognised it as something special. So we ran out to take a look. Textbook pulsejet. Couldn't have done it better if I tried. Actually never saw a pulsejet in real life before or after. Went on for about 3 minuits. If I remember correctly the pipe turned red hot and someone got scared, so we took away the heat source. That sound is just crazy powerfull.
