This is just plain stupid. The fact that one has already died should be a wake up call to others who are even considering to take on this idiotic challenge.

First of all why would anybody think it's a good idea to set themselves on fire. I almost wanna say it's your own fault if you're stupid enough to do this and then get hurt or worse.

And up next, folks, the incredible Gun Challenge - where our glorious challengers shoot themselves in the chest and see if they live!

That's probably the evidence of imbecility of teens in the recent time (the most of them, not all).

This is like the cinnamon challenge, though instead of suffocating (as the cinnamon would enter your lungs/throat if you do it wrong) you burn to death or die from an infected burn.

Good job Darwin, keeping these people in check.

You are not allowed to burn yourselfs. You failed to follow the rules and one person dies.

Shame on you.

Hm. If this did happen, which it most certainly can, this would probably be more of a solution than a problem if you think about it. Like you could spread this image around and maybe make a challenge out of it.

What the fuck is wrong with people. I'm astonished that teens these days would actually try something this damn stupid...

If they want to be burned, we can use them to do barbecue (they are coal or we eat they, cannibalism should be legal in this case).

So I just heard in the news that a man not too far from where I live tried to burn himself. The report didn't mention if he did it for the fire challenge, but I assume he did, bc they said he took a canister of gasoline, poured it all over himself and then lit himself on fire in a public restroom.

And this is in Germany, so it's actually a thing that people world-wide do. I thought this was just some crazy trend in the USA, but nope
