ReplyDeleteTwo emotions here. One, hell of a way to die, burning to death with no one to help you because they think it is some kind of a show.
ReplyDeleteTwo: another lesson for everyone else, stupidity will get you killed. Yeah, what could go wrong here; you want to light a cigarette while covered head to foot in a costum made of burlap and straw. Darwin award here.
It can happen extremely quickly. My father was a country doctor and another doctor in an adjoining area was a good friend of our family. At Sunday dinner he lit a cigarette, an ash fell on his silk tie and he burned to death in front of his family.
