If you notice closely enough, the black kid behind him gets some of that shit sprayed into his eyes by the other kid.

I watched it 50 times and it still really looks like magic safety-goggles appeared on his face... however improbable that is.

[–]faceplain 34 points35 points ago

it's actually a can of instant safety goggle, not silly string.

Please pre-spray Canned Safety Goggle to protect against potential injury while spraying Canned Safety Google.

He's got glasses on, it just sticks to the glasses very evenly is all. Look toward where his eyebrows would be and you'll see them, they are a very dark frame though.

[–]TheIvoryNun 4 points5 points ago

But if you notice, he still has the white string on his eyes after the guy lights up, so his didn't catch fire.

My family got pissed off at me when I started yelling and chewing people out for spraying silly string in the living room right next to a huge fire in the fireplace.

Though letting your family die for your pride seems kind of silly. Sillier than silly string, I'd say.

I like how quickly the silly string just disappears in a burst of flames. I had to watch it twice because the first time I didn't even realize that was the silly string covered guy who stood up, since it was all gone.

[–]sigaven 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wow, thanks for pointing that out, I thought he fell on the floor. I'm amazed by how quickly that stuff disappeared.

[–]Randamba 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

First time I watched it, I thought he exploded, and I felt really bad. And then I saw the slow-motion version and was relieved.

[–]DeliriousZeus 2 points3 points ago

For some reason, I can see this popping up in a shitty, quasi-sci-fi film where the characters have to blow up a ship with tnt but they have no fuse. "We'll just use this silly string guys, I'm a real token chemist and shit."

Am I the only who actually wonders what happens to people in those "accident" videos afterwards? Was he injured? Did the afro-american kid go blind? I need details!

[–]FriendlyFelon 37 points38 points ago

The fire damage was so severe, he changed his name to Nicolas Cage and went on to become Ghost Rider...

[–]Zeppelin535 0 points1 point ago

I think the more likely occurrence, seeing as his hair caught fire, was that he became a world famous pop singer.

[–]kdokk 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wonder if he lost his eyebrows. When my mom was little she was holding a balloon at a parade and some ashes from her uncle's cigar fell on it and It popped and singed half of her eyebrow off.

[–]JimmyJamesincorp 2 points3 points ago

You can say "black" without offending anyone. Afro-american is just stupid and not accurate.

It's incredible how quickly the screaming begins. The hair barely ignites and you hear a blood curdling scream, haha. I must be a fucking sloth... I think it would take several seconds for me to respond in any way at all. There are too many variables to consider. Why did this happen, what should I do, do I really care, etc. No screaming would occur.

[–]ThisOpenFist 5 points6 points ago*

Ever burnt yourself on a hot pan or a stove? I bet you pulled your hand away before you had time to think. This is because, in an emergency, your nervous system is preconditioned to defend your body before any time is wasted waiting for your brain to process and send the same exact signals.

Screaming, like flinching, fighting, and fleeing, is a defensive gesture. That woman's shriek probably caught the whole family's attention as soon as the fire started, and everyone was able to respond to the fire a valuable half-second faster because of it.

[–]wesman212 2 points3 points ago

Ever burnt yourself on a hot pan or a stove?

No. I burn the pan and the stove instead.

If we can derive anything from my comment, it's that I don't function well to protect groups of people. Many valuable half-seconds would be wasted, a lot of hair would burn. Unfortunately, I've already passed on my time wasting genes.

On my dad's 40th birthday we put those diesel sparklers on his cake, not the little shitty ones but the ones with the red tissue paper. Anyways, the ceiling got burned, the tablecloth caught fire and melted, and I swear my dad spent the next ten years sanding and varnishing that spot on the kitchen table. As adults, my siblings and I joke that the sanded spot on the table represented his patience wearing thin.

Incidentally, we put teddy grahams on that cake and they were all battle-wounded after. And the cake tasted like metal.

It's a pet peeve of mine because it creates clearly dangerous situations with children around. Obviously there are more heinous injustices in the world, but this specifically always gets me.

It wouldn't be very funny if he was truly injured, but if you watch the actual video on youtube, the uploader confirms that he wasn't injured whatsoever afterwards.
