Firefighters Have To Warn Teens Not To Light Themselves On Fire

The Internet is maybe the greatest invention the world has ever seen, and this is what we use it for.

Ranking high among the dumbest viral crazes ever is the YouTube-ignited “Fire Challenge,“ wherein teens light themselves on fire with flammable liquid before jumping into pools or other bodies of water.

Yes, people are doing this. Don't do this

Unsurprisingly, several youngsters have injured themselves this way, prompting the London Fire Brigade to issue the following obvious warning: “This is a stupid and dangerous craze. You’re almost certain to seriously injure yourself, and fire can easily spread to furniture and other flammable household items which is a risk to others.“
