Japanese live streamer demonstrates a permanent match lighter... and it goes wrong in just about the worst possible way (SLYT)

This post was deleted for the following reason: Hey, it's looking like a) there were people actually injured in the resulting fire, and b) uncertain if the video subject actually intended this to be saved on YouTube... plus a lot of laughing at the guy (not here) when it seems that this was a rather terrible accident. Deleting for now, please contact us if you'd like to discuss or share more info about the video origins or whatever! -- taz



 
So my take away from this a) don't unbox fire and b) if you do... don't have a load of cardboard boxes lying around plus a bin filled with tissues you've been wiping up lighter fuel with.

Is he OK? I mean, still alive? Because... yikes.

(Also, if this happens to you and you don't have an extinguisher: smother the fire with a blanket. And if that doesn't work, fire brigade time!)

Why you should buy a permanent match lighter

Rule 1 of putting out a fire: Throw the fire onto some cardboard boxes.
Rule 2: Hit the fire with another cardboard box. Fire does not like to be hit.
Rule 3: Position cardboard box on top of the flames and leave the room for a while. That should do it.

Thanks for the extra info, sebastienbailard. That was horrible to watch (and I wouldn't have watched it on my own, but saw it over Zarkonnen's shoulder).
