While I'm sure this has been a horrific experience I have to ask just how stupid does a person have to be to think 'Oh I'll just chuck some meths onto this lit BBQ to help it along some'
A teenager is in a critical condition with serious burns after throwing methylated spirits onto a barbecue.
Firefighters said the 17-year-old threw the liquid onto embers which then exploded, setting fire to himself and a washing line in a garden in Hull.
As the youth, still on fire, ran into the house in Wellsted Street, he set the hallway and stairs alight.
A 48-year-old man who tried to help the youth was also badly burned. Both are in hospital with serious injuries.
Humberside Fire and Rescue spokesman, Glenn Ramsden, said neighbours had reported hearing a "loud explosion" at the property on Wednesday afternoon.
He said the flames had spread rapidly along a washing line and into the kitchen of the house.
The 17-year-old was taken to a hospital in Manchester for specialist treatment, where his condition was described as critical.
The man was transferred to the burns unit at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield.
Mr Ramsden said: "This has been a tragic accident, fire can take life in seconds and people should be aware that now, at last the barbecue weather is here, they must only use approved products on their barbecue.
"What seems relatively harmless can end in tragedy in a split second."
He added that should an individual's clothes catch fire the best thing to do was to drop down and roll on the ground to put the flames out while shouting for help.
Like throwing flammable liquid onto a barbeque you mean?

I say old chap, it's a bit rich trying to blame this on old DS don't you know.
I know he's responsible for a lot, but I doubt that even he (with or without the help of his turkeys) could have managed this one!

Darwin is capable of many things old boy, there are even awards about his dediction to clean the gene pool in America eyes:

doh:
It was a different retard! ::)
This was the one who doused himself in meths to get the BBQ going, not the non-swimmer who jumped in a river to rescue a drowning Alcopop.
Do try to keep up old chap.

I'm going to copyright that phrase and design a load of clothes for them. I'll be able to retire on the back of these gormless knuckle draggers buying what they think is the next big thing without realising I've been taking the pi55 out of them the entire time whistle:
