Stunned Burning Man festival-goers watch in horror as man dodges firefighters and rangers to dive into flames of blazing effigy.

As expected the man was burned alive.

Guess he took those "This is your brain..." anti-drug ad campaigns very literally.



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

After web searching photos from this event, I say many people are sure to follow.

I'm sure he wanted to top the antics from other attendees, but somehow his plan for 15 minutes of fame is somewhat flawed...

Of course. If one isn’t smart enough to think of some other way of achieving that 15 minutes of fame, copy someone else’s idiocy.

I suspect, though, that it won’t happen again at that festival, because next year there will be more guards on duty, and the “man” will be surrounded by a high chain-link fence.

So did he actually die? The article says it is unknown if he died and that he was airlifted to a burn center.

Hopefully they install a fence to keep the acid tripping patrons away from the flames.
