“I didn’t realize gasoline was explosive,” says the idiot kid in this video. For some reason he thought it would be cool to ignite a pile of gasoline-covered wood while standing over it.

Where were his parents during this unnecessary accident? Holding the camera of course.

Looking back, the father now realizes just how dumb the decision to light the fire was. What I can’t understand, though, is why the kid thought to be so close to the flammable wood. A similar scenario of this can be found in just about any Hollywood action flick, and it never ends good.

Thank god the kid’s face wasn’t permanently damaged or this clip, as embarrassing as it still is, would have never made it on the net. Then again, I’m not so sure with a father like that.
