Festival Goer Leaps into the Flames of a Burning Effigy
A man rescued from the flames at the Burning Man festival’s signature burning of a towering effigy has died after being airlifted to a hospital. Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen said the man ran through a human-chain of security officers at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday during the Man Burn event at the counter-culture festival. The sheriff said the man was rescued by firefighters and later died at the UC Davis hospital burn center in California. He has been identified as*Aaron Joel Mitchell, 41, who grew up in McAlester, Oklahoma but was living in*Switzerland, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. More than 70,000 people are enjoying the art and music celebration in the Black Rock Desert, about 100 miles north of Reno. The nine-day event culminates with the burning of a towering 40-foot effigy made of wood. Attendees have tried to run into the flames as a symbol of rebirth. Festival organizers didn’t immediately respond when asked for comment. The nine-day festival in northern Nevada was briefly hampered when a lightning-sparked wildfire temporarily shut down Burning Man’s main travel route last week.   |

Why am I not surprised. What a horrible way to die. I want to laugh but then I feel guilty before I even start. It's depressing, really. |

Re: Festival Goer Leaps into the Flames of a Burning Effigy
My first thought when I saw this in the news this morning was that they'd somehow got recycled an old story. Didn't this happen a year or two ago as well?
