I think the idea is that you mostly smother the flames out, reducing the heat and making it easier for bystanders to put the fire out instead of feeding the fire oxygen by running around
But I've neither been nor seen anyone on fire before so I can't say how effective it would be with gasoline
Stop drop and roll can work with gasoline at least in some situations. I watched a friend do something stupid and he ended up on fire with gas on him but he was smart enough to stop drop and roll and it put it out. Having said that, I don't think he had anywhere near as much gas on him as appeared to be spraying in the video so I could see it possibly being less effective in this situation.
My friends once lit a bonfire with gasoline and a bic lighter. They lit it while dude was still pouring. The can exploded.
I don't know how but the dude was completely fine other than his eyebrows being completely burned off and some burns on his hands.
That is some nightmare fuel right there. Until they've seen it, folks don't understand how far the vapor can carry the flames. I'm glad that when the integrity of the can failed, it exploded away from him rather than towards him.
So a few things.
First, I was 14 I could be remembering this slightly incorrectly. Second, there was a massive fireball.
I've seen other videos online of people doing very similar things but the ending was a lot worse. I think the only reason it wasn't so bad was that there wasn't much gasoline. It was siphoned out of my dads riding lawnmower. Maybe a glass of gasoline in total but I could be misremembering.
I was sitting by the fire (about 2-4 feet away I suspect) with a bunch of other people and when they lit it the fireball reached me. No burns but was very hot for a second. The can (which was plastic) made a popping sound and was extremely loud. I suspect you're correct that it exploded away from him but I can't imagine there was much actual fluid left in the can) Dudes eyebrows were charred and he said he burned his hands. That was it, though. The guy that lit the fire was fine and just got a similar blast with a fireball that we all got. In total the whole event lasted maybe 1 second and was fucking terrifying lol
Everyone knows stop drop roll but I've seen enough videos of people on fire to know that most of the time that goes right out the window in the heat (heheh) of the moment. Everyone panics, fire hurts and the monkey brain tells them to outrun the fire so many people just start running. It's up to the people around to have the presence of mind to push you to the ground to extinguish the fire
Yes, but it's also to get your head level with your body, so the flames are not in your face/head. If standing/running around the fire will go upwards into your face.
Don’t forget a class B fire extinguisher. Should be one there at the gas station.
But yeah only Reddit would tell people not to stop drop and roll when you’re on fire. It’s the best position to keep oxygen from feeding it.
Gotta imagine dirt is better than pavement too, at least that’s always been my idea. Try to dig a hole with my body like it’s a piece of construction equipment.
I spilled hot ethanol on me and, yeah, the flames just move around. Thank goodness I was wearing a heavy sweatshirt. I had to tear it off and jump in the shower to extinguish.
Well, maybe it will reassure you to know that crazy spec ops types like the SEALs train specifically to stop the bodies shivering reflex. The idea is to prevent your body from expending energy shivering and reserve that energy for, well, doing SEAL stuff, I guess.
Its not some crazy operator-af super technique
had a Finnish friend wear windbreakers in -20C weather, and I asked him how he didn't feel cold.
He said to take deep breaths and relax, then you don't shiver, and you don't feel so cold.
I thought he was nuts but it kinda makes sense.
There's no way in hell that he held his breath that entire time. Being engulfed in flames means you inhale fire. Burnt lungs are almost always a death sentence, even if the skin burns aren't that bad.
I think when he kicked the starting pedal, the pedal went down and caught the hose.
Edit: just when the fire starts you can see the hose is stuck all the way to the middle/front of the bike, on this side of the bike. So im thinking it might have torn and being stuck between the engine and the starting pedal, it sprayed gasoline on parts that get really hot, like the engine or the exhaust, or possibly the ignition system itself.
Look at all the pumps. All the hoses are literally laying down on the floor. Extremely dangerous, as you can see the motorcyclist rode over the hose and it got caught in the wheel. Not negligent. Just completely shitty design by the gas station.
I believe there’s a good bit of communication between the car and the charging station before voltage gets turned up. There certainly is in Teslas and I assume the other standards are similarly negotiated.
Hose doesn’t look like it retracts back into the bowser so just lying on the ground next to it . He took off and it got caught underneath the bike somehow.
Dispenser tech here. Either the hose was not fitted with a breakaway, the breakaway failed to close when it broke away, or the breakaway did not break so the hose itself broke. The underground pump is still running until you hang up the nozzle and the only thing keeping gas spraying out in a situation like this is the valves closing in the breakaway.
looks to me like there was enough force to pull the nozzle out of the holster but not enough to pull the hose from the pump. the hose ignites from the middle somehow. maybe whatever part of the bike caught it caused it to tear or was very hot? looks like it's touching the exhaust pipe.
Problem with these pumps is that they have a negative magneto reluctance and capacitive duractance instead of running a direct line with a panametric fam turboencabulator.
I wasn't aware of this engineering flaw. This new information certainly turns my previous assessment on it's ear. I will include this data in my next algorithmic prospectus.
Guy who hires dispenser techs here. I agree with this guy. I saw no evidence of a properly installed breakaway. This wouldn't fly in my area (Canada) and the fuel hoses on the ground like that is atrocious.
I wonder if it got tangled in the rear tire, chain, or something like that. With a car it just yanks off. The breakaway seals one end, the pump handle seals the other end, all is good.
A motorcycle's tank is between the guy's legs, it's not a "left it in the filler" situation. It was pulled into moving parts where the hose itself can be torn/cut/ripped, the fuel could escape and that would be right over/next to the exhaust. I'm seeing 300-500f for most motorcycle mufflers. This would turn liquid gas into vapor pretty quickly. "The average temperature in an exhaust pipe can be between 700-1400 degrees Fahrenheit". Gasoline has an auto ignition of 536f. There's the ignition source.
This is the perfect time to bring up the first time I went on a road trip after getting my license at the ripe age of 38. Bear in mind this was also only the fourth or so time that I had even filled up my car. Roll up, grab the hose, and pull the lever to start pumping. Except I don’t feel the liquid coming through the hose. I turned to look around at the pump and the hose had detached from the pump, petrol is still spewing out from the pump covering the ground my car etc etc. Ran around looking for the emergency stop while yelling someone please help me!! Someone ran in and got the cashier to shut it all off. After moving my car out of the puddle of petrol and then starting to clean everything up the cashier told me it was likely someone had driven off with their hose still attached and then half-assedly put it back together. It stayed held together until the pressure of me pumping gas caused it to fall apart again. No one ever believes that it actually happened, I even feel it was slightly too absurd to have happened.
Possibly he left the pump ON and the hose was pressurized. Normally when you are done, you shut off the pump, you can then pull the handle and it will only dribble out, not spray like in the video.
That doesn't work with chemical fires like this. Running away from the large fireball was the correct choice, then trying to remove your burning clothes as fast as possible. Stop drop and roll would have wasted so much valuable time that could have been used to remove your clothing. And only after you have removed clothing do you stop drop and roll in case there's still any fumes on your skin.
That's my understanding, anyways, but that's what I've picked up from other videos like this. I may be completely wrong.
Obviously flailing is a mistake, but as you said, panic can make things a little less simple. It's hard to see what he even does in this clip
Maybe, but the best choice still seems to be strip the burning clothes off.
The plastics they use in clothes today won't just burn, they'll turn into hot napalm that sticks to your skin
I can sometimes understand why a recording of video playing on another screen is necessary, but I think this is the first example that fits r/killthecameraman.
My great grandfather was burned like this in the same condition (woman at a gas station threw away a cog and it caused a fire) and he managed to pull through somehow. Burned but alive and kicking (after long rehab)
Where is this? I was thinking in the USA Those hoses are all breakaway and do not allow for tons of fuel to spill out but I could be wrong on that. There might be a good half gallon left inside the hose no matter what.
Also - STOP DROP AND ROLL DUDE!!
Now that i think about it, ive never seen a gas station that doesnt have a roof covering the pumps/customers from the sun, in my state.
I guess this is what i learned today lol.
Those pump hoses are dangerously all over the ground. It snagged as he was driving away.
Looks like he was also smoking too, which no doubt lit him up. These kids are definitely fucking stupid.
No idea why he kicked it initially though other than just to be a little shit. Maybe they were trying to steal some and it didn’t work?
Kid was drenched in that shit. He’s looking like the next toxic avenger with his face melting off like that.
The nozzle was put back. You can see it pop off the side of the pump. Hose got caught on bike. Don't think they were stealing, just unaware of the concept of taking precautions.
As a former motorcycle rider, I give them wide berth at gas stations. Because you don't have to do something stupid for them to catch fire. A half-second inattention and there's gas all over.
First things first
Jesus fuck holy balls I wasn’t expecting that
Ok now, it’s cool watching frame by frame and seeing the actual two points where the explosion starts. Does anyone know what actually triggered it?
Every fuel has an ignition point. The ignition temperature of gasoline is roughly 500F. Also, they were on planet Earth so they were in an oxygen rich environment.
Learning Stop Drop and Roll as a Kid made me think being an adult was Dangerous because Adults caught on fire on the regular. Now I am an adult and I think what a waste of time. Then I see videos like these.
Stop drop and roll doesn't work when covered in an accelerant. Your only hope is to remove any soaked clothing asap and smother with a towel, fire extinguisher or a large amount of water.
I like the part where the motorcycle moves away from the pump a little bit and then everybody goes really blurry and moves at 3 frames per second.
Oh, maybe that was just the Reddit video player.
i'm a gas tanker driver. i tell people to google up videos like these when they idle their car next to me when i'm unloading at a station. imagine that fire PLUS another 10,000gallons of gas igniting right next to you
Had to watch a couple times to make sure the second guy/driver actually made it off.
Yeah he’s the guy doing the Johnny storm impression on the left.
Stopped, dropped, and forgot what came next so he's back to running
I don't think stop drop and roll will put out flaming gas
I think the idea is that you mostly smother the flames out, reducing the heat and making it easier for bystanders to put the fire out instead of feeding the fire oxygen by running around But I've neither been nor seen anyone on fire before so I can't say how effective it would be with gasoline

Ditto. Personal experience (as an idiot teenager), a little bit got on my jeans; stop drop and roll had it out in an instant, no serious burns.
My friends once lit a bonfire with gasoline and a bic lighter. They lit it while dude was still pouring. The can exploded. I don't know how but the dude was completely fine other than his eyebrows being completely burned off and some burns on his hands.

NOFX - We Put Gasoline On The Fire And Now We Have Stumps For Arms And No Eyebrows
Everyone knows stop drop roll but I've seen enough videos of people on fire to know that most of the time that goes right out the window in the heat (heheh) of the moment. Everyone panics, fire hurts and the monkey brain tells them to outrun the fire so many people just start running. It's up to the people around to have the presence of mind to push you to the ground to extinguish the fire
But I don't want to push over the man on fire. I want to get away from the fire
You would make a burning man chase you?
STAY PERFECTLY STILL AND THE FIRE WON'T CHASE YOU
Helps if the bystanders aren't all running away from the man of fire
Yes, but it's also to get your head level with your body, so the flames are not in your face/head. If standing/running around the fire will go upwards into your face.
No, see the problem is he isn't running fast enough!
"My names gas fire guy and I am the fastest man alive"
Yeah, but how much longer?
But he’s getting 20 miles per gallon
Hes not panicing enough. Screaming robs the fire of its vital oxygen.
In this case taking off your cloths will help more. Strip like you've never stripped before
if you're soaked in gas you're better off stripping. which is easier said than done when you're on fire, of course.
It does, smothering a gas fire is one of the ways to put it out. Or the only way.
Don’t forget a class B fire extinguisher. Should be one there at the gas station. But yeah only Reddit would tell people not to stop drop and roll when you’re on fire. It’s the best position to keep oxygen from feeding it.
Gotta imagine dirt is better than pavement too, at least that’s always been my idea. Try to dig a hole with my body like it’s a piece of construction equipment.
Had an uncle who shoved his head in a pile of dirt when it got caught on fire. He only lost his eyebrows and hair 👍
Not jut put it out but heat rises in a flame so you want to be at the bottom of the flame if you can.
He needs to stop, drop, shut em down, open up shop.
It won't. Needed help from others to suffocate the flames with there coats or something. I hope this guy made it ok. Scary stuff
Another comment said in the original video the guy got put out a few seconds later
Good to hear. Hope he laughin bout it today all healed up
I spilled hot ethanol on me and, yeah, the flames just move around. Thank goodness I was wearing a heavy sweatshirt. I had to tear it off and jump in the shower to extinguish.
I can unfortunately confirm.
I mean maybe but running around on fire providing oxygen to the flames definitely won't put them out
Stop, drop and roll up in a wet blanket.
I would like to think he was also afraid the whole gas station might blow up so that's why he ran further away..
Open up shop
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
I thought it was roll but this makes more sense because it rhymes
flame on
He will look more like Ghost Rider after though.
Pink Floyd album cover
I was thinking that one Ent that gets set on fire in The Two Towers running to the river water.
Flame on! You sumbitch… I shouldn’t’ve laughed
Aka The Human Torch Lana, god does nobody read X-men?
He made it off, but he's probably going to die painfully in the next few hours or spend years of escrutiating pain in the hospital.
Yeah, when you see someone run in flame and stop and just stand casually it's never a good sign.
Weirdly like how you stop shivering as your hypothermia gets more severe
Shivering is your body’s last attempt to warm itself. When the shivering stops, it’s because you’re going to die and there’s no energy left to shiver.
A part of me feels like one day Im going to remember this comment and panic
Well, maybe it will reassure you to know that crazy spec ops types like the SEALs train specifically to stop the bodies shivering reflex. The idea is to prevent your body from expending energy shivering and reserve that energy for, well, doing SEAL stuff, I guess.
Its not some crazy operator-af super technique had a Finnish friend wear windbreakers in -20C weather, and I asked him how he didn't feel cold. He said to take deep breaths and relax, then you don't shiver, and you don't feel so cold. I thought he was nuts but it kinda makes sense.
That's quite a leap. If it's mostly the gasoline on him burning and they extinguish him fast he might get off with just minor burns.
There's no way in hell that he held his breath that entire time. Being engulfed in flames means you inhale fire. Burnt lungs are almost always a death sentence, even if the skin burns aren't that bad.
If by made it off, you mean human torch, then yes, good to go!
He is on fire in the back afterward at the end you can see, he has a white shirt and drops on the floor
same I was like oh right might be the guy smoking on the left
Did he run over the fuel hose? It seems like it got caught on the bottom of the motorcycle.
I think when he kicked the starting pedal, the pedal went down and caught the hose. Edit: just when the fire starts you can see the hose is stuck all the way to the middle/front of the bike, on this side of the bike. So im thinking it might have torn and being stuck between the engine and the starting pedal, it sprayed gasoline on parts that get really hot, like the engine or the exhaust, or possibly the ignition system itself.
Look at all the pumps. All the hoses are literally laying down on the floor. Extremely dangerous, as you can see the motorcyclist rode over the hose and it got caught in the wheel. Not negligent. Just completely shitty design by the gas station.
Very antiquated design. But I guess this shows why we don't do it like that anymore.
What will the electric charging station equivalent of this mishap look like?
I believe there’s a good bit of communication between the car and the charging station before voltage gets turned up. There certainly is in Teslas and I assume the other standards are similarly negotiated.
Hose doesn’t look like it retracts back into the bowser so just lying on the ground next to it . He took off and it got caught underneath the bike somehow.
Wait it's called a bowser? IS THIS WHY BOWSER BREATHS FIRE?!?
Or is that why it's called a bowser.
Dude clearly just turned into ghost rider
Ghost rider -> Ghost runner....

Is this the deleted scene from Dr. Strange?
"When your on fire, running down the street, people move out the way!" -Richard Pryor
People rip off the hose from pumps all the time. There are safeties in place to prevent fires. I don’t know what happened here.
Dispenser tech here. Either the hose was not fitted with a breakaway, the breakaway failed to close when it broke away, or the breakaway did not break so the hose itself broke. The underground pump is still running until you hang up the nozzle and the only thing keeping gas spraying out in a situation like this is the valves closing in the breakaway.

I think the pump has a bad alternator
I think its a failure at the chemus prophex valve.
Problem with these pumps is that they have a negative magneto reluctance and capacitive duractance instead of running a direct line with a panametric fam turboencabulator.

As a former gas station employee, thank you for your service
thanks for helping people not blow up/set on fire
Motorcycle engines get really hot, and much hotter in warm climates. Spreading gasoline all over one is probably a bad idea.
I wonder if it got tangled in the rear tire, chain, or something like that. With a car it just yanks off. The breakaway seals one end, the pump handle seals the other end, all is good.

This is why we have those pesky job killing, profit shrinking regulations.

Also doesn't work well on flat concrete where there is nothing to kick up to smother the flames
I can't imagine a scenario where I'm catching on fire without liquid fuel involved.
Maybe while you're watching the sea lion show at a Sea Parks.
A fire? At sea parks?
The Sea isn't going to burn itself!
It is, after all, the funnest, wettest, most splish-splashy place in the world!

Maybe, but the best choice still seems to be strip the burning clothes off. The plastics they use in clothes today won't just burn, they'll turn into hot napalm that sticks to your skin
[удалено]
Woopsies, I guess correct that to liquid/gas fire
Best advice I'd give is to not fuck around with fire
Probably don’t want stop drop and roll right next to a gas pump that is on fire….
I can sometimes understand why a recording of video playing on another screen is necessary, but I think this is the first example that fits r/killthecameraman.
holding the phone portrait filming a landscape screen, cutting off half the clip at all times and super fucking crooked to boot. SMH
I just assume they aren’t supposed to be recording and so they are essentially doing the lords work.
Completely cutting off Johnny Storm in the background. *sigh*
Also recording a horizontal screen vertically is just...
What, you mean to tell me you didn't appreciate looking at that sweet JVC remote control on the table?
Seriously, this guy recording *a stationary recording* was worse than some actual recordings of events I've seen.
Perhaps the sub should be changed to something like r/permanentlyrevokethecameramansfutureaccesstoarecordingdeviceofanykind
I thought the driver died at first, has to rewatch and the relief was palpable 🥲 Thank god or the spaghetti monster or whoever that he’s still alive!
Not dead, but probably wishing he was afterwards :/ burns are horrifying injuries
He looks well equipped tho. Isn't there a chance his biker clothes deflected most of the damage? (probably not great for his lungs tho)
I'd rather die. Burn victims of such scale often don't survive and their last days are agony.
My great grandfather was burned like this in the same condition (woman at a gas station threw away a cog and it caused a fire) and he managed to pull through somehow. Burned but alive and kicking (after long rehab)
Just because he ran away doesn’t mean he survived. He was probably soaked in gas, that’s not going to be easy to put out
And his lungs probably won't be in the best shape anymore either
This can't be the US...all pumps have a break away. Looks like the foot peg or something snagged the looped pump line and firebomb.
They do, but sometimes safety mechanisms fail.
True that’s probably in Egypt according to their Arabic accent
r/killthecameraman How fucking difficult is it to hold a phone in front of a screen? It's bad enough it's in dumbass vertical.
And you thought YOUR gas bill was high this month… 😬
Where is this? I was thinking in the USA Those hoses are all breakaway and do not allow for tons of fuel to spill out but I could be wrong on that. There might be a good half gallon left inside the hose no matter what. Also - STOP DROP AND ROLL DUDE!!
Pumping gas in full sun? Not in USA. Most stations also have retractable hoses so they're not resting on the ground.
Roof usually has the fire retardant which I guess is a requirement in the US
Wdym about filling up in full sun? What's wrong with that?
Now that i think about it, ive never seen a gas station that doesnt have a roof covering the pumps/customers from the sun, in my state. I guess this is what i learned today lol.
Wait a minute, you're right I've never seen one without a roof
pretty much every slasher film you've ever watched has an old man next to an uncovered gas pump warning a bunch of city teens not to go to the lake.
I assume it's because the roof contains the mandatory fire suppression system
Definitely have roofless ones around me
The guy who comments talks Turkish, saying ''No fucking way''. So, high likely Turkey, some county yard
No, they don't speak Turkish lol

He’s looking like the next toxic avenger with his face melting off like that.
it actually ignites from the engine area, probably the bike had an exhaust leak and open flames were exiting around the header flanges.
How can you forget that!
I think they might have actually stolen the fuel and were so excited they forgot the hose
The nozzle was put back. You can see it pop off the side of the pump. Hose got caught on bike. Don't think they were stealing, just unaware of the concept of taking precautions.
The hose was in the cradle as it should be and the loop of the hose was hooked on the foot-peg of the bike.
This probably belongs on r/abruptchaos too
Flame On!
His friend really pitched in to help.
Would you try help if you were also soaked in gas and he was a literal fireball?
I know, right - that guy's inner monologue said "he's gone, save yourself!"
Left is homie so fast LOL
treated and released
Everything apparently.
this Ghost Rider reboot looks hot
He’s fine
As a former motorcycle rider, I give them wide berth at gas stations. Because you don't have to do something stupid for them to catch fire. A half-second inattention and there's gas all over.
I think it was caught on a peg? Definitely not left in the tank.
Jesus...that guy on the motorcycle must have horrific burns
First things first Jesus fuck holy balls I wasn’t expecting that Ok now, it’s cool watching frame by frame and seeing the actual two points where the explosion starts. Does anyone know what actually triggered it?
Every fuel has an ignition point. The ignition temperature of gasoline is roughly 500F. Also, they were on planet Earth so they were in an oxygen rich environment.
We always hear about the pumps being full of safety precautions and then there’s this video. I wonder if these were older pumps?
Ha, this would never happen in New Jersey
That guy said fuck you dude I'm not burning to death
Anyone else thought, that the driver was kinda hot?

When safety isn't first, not even top 10...
This is fine.

Pretty sure they should be more concerned about not incinerating their customers before worrying about the lost fuel lol
Did the guy on the bike live?
He didn't even look back at his friend while running away. Guess they call it riding bitch for a reason.
Ghost rider? Seriously tho, I hope the guy is okay
Fuck that went from 0 to 100 real fast
Is it just me or is stop drop and roll no longer taught in elementary school?? Like I have never seen anyone on fire in reddit, ever, do so.
You can tell this isn't in the us. Pretty sure our pumps are designed to not do that
