One night, while the fire was raging on, one of the guys out there decided it would be exciting to jump on a jerrycan lying on its side and spray gas into the fire. Everyone was laughing and in awe for the first couple jumps but by the 3rd or 4th attempt a hole must've burned or formed into the side of the jerrycan facing up.

As he landed, gasoline sprayed all over him and he was immediately completely engulfed in flames. People were screaming at him to stop, drop and roll but he was yelling that there's glass everywhere (because after years of partying there, there was), so he ran a good 50 yards before finally rolling into a ditch full of long grass. Upon getting up from the help of some friends there was stuff hanging from him to which my friend standing next to me says, "man, look at all the grass that stuck to him" and I sadly had to help him to the realization that it wasn't grass but his melted skin dangling from his body.

His close buddies were telling him he needs to go to the hospital but he was so drunk and in shock, he wanted to just keep partying. Luckily his friends finally convinced him to head into town. He was flown to U of A that night and spent the next 6 months or so in intensive care.

That was a crazy night.
