Burn Boy

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Ok so this guy was taking a class for junior firefighters, and the firefighters gave him a "Fireproof" suit. He was so syched about the suit that he just had to test it out, so his friend and he doused the suit with gasoline and then they planned to light it on fire to test its fireproofness.

The suit then became egnighted in flames burning the boy's entire lower body. Naturally he disregarded everything the firefighters had taught him about stop, drop, and roll... and he preceded to run around while the friend who lit him up was going to get a fireproof blanket to smother the fire in.

He got there just in time and put out the fire, but he still faced 3rd degree burns on his lower legs. He spent nearly 8 months in the hostpital/rehibilitation center. So my friends and i preceded to call him burn boy and ask him if his penis was still fully functional, but he never answered...

easily as dumb as the people that let others stab them while wearing bullet proof vests, and more original.

Fireproof means fire won't harm the fabric - my guess is it was fireproof, but not heat insulating, i.e. he got fried without the fabric being damaged.

Even without knowing the ages of the people involved, I find nothing amusing about this and I think that the final paragraph says something ...

I'm of two minds about this. He was told it was fireproof... I personally would have started by walking through fire, rather than trying to light it on fire. Let the readers decide?
