Fire-Breather Erupts Into Flames At Florida High School Pep Rally (Video)

As the saying goes, “If you play with fire, you’re going to get burned.”  One fire breather learned that lesson the hard way, although it probably wasn’t that surprising considering his chosen profession.

During a performance at a Florida high school the fire breather shot a fireball into the air, but things backfired a bit for him.  He was apparently using a fuel that he had never used before and it didn’t react as he was expecting.  He caught fire and it seems like it took absolutely forever to put it out, causing him to suffer third degree burns on his body, including his face and his head.

Now, you’d think that if you were a fire breather, you’d be extremely familiar with the tools of your trade, AKA the fuel you use in your act.  Also, shouldn’t there be a fire extinguisher right next to the fire guy at all times?  Maybe it’s just us…
