BANGLADESH Street performance by a fire breather ended badly. His entire face was engulfed in flames, and he suffered severe burns.
There are a number of things that could have gone wrong. For example, using the wrong fuel, improper exhalation, or flammable residues on the face. The important point is that such performances always have certain safety standards when done professionally. In this case, those standards were clearly not followed.
Safety standards for fire performances include an experienced performer who has undergone weeks or months of professional training. Proper fuel should be used, such as low-volatility substances like paraffin oil, lamp oil, or isoparaffin. Gasoline or ethanol is absolutely unsuitable. Professionals also always have a fire extinguisher ready and a procedure in place in case of an accident.
From time to time, you may encounter such street fire performances in tourist destinations during vacations. Since their professionalism cannot be guaranteed, it is strongly recommended to stay away from the fire. It takes very little for an accident to happen.
