What an asshole!

I hate people who deliberately do shit like this, and place others' lives at risk. Not to mention all the people traumatized by watching this in person.

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.

I guess this is the video to it...

Just the cleansing of the gene pool is all.

I wonder how many drugs he was on

Have they given the Darwin award yet this year? I nominate Aaron.

Next year it's called the fire retardant stick man, made out of fire board! All festivals should have a suicide pit of stupidity for Mr. Du Fuss in the crowd who's inclined to end it all on a high note!

Should rename the festival "Flaming Turd..."
