    To be fair stop drop and roll is still good advice. You just don’t find yourself on fire that often.

      The one time I did find myself on fire, I completely forgot about stop, drop, and roll. Instead I ran until I stumbled on the hillside, then shouted “am I still on fire?”

      Aaand that story is why I no longer fucks with charcoal grills.

        Wait you managed to light yourself on fire with a CHARCOAL grill?

        Did you put accelerant on it for some reason?

        Caught my pants on fire from a welding spark and by the time I noticed, it was most of my leg on fire. Didn’t even think to stop drop and roll, I just took off my pants.

        Couple of points of advice:

        1. Don’t wear frayed clothing while welding.

        2. Fire can’t be seen through certain welding masks. If you feel warm, lift the fucking mask.
