Lesson #1 when you are on fire: hit the ground to reduce the draft. Here’s the quote from the U.S. Fire Administration site:
“If your clothes catch fire, stop, drop, and roll. Stop immediately, drop to the ground, and cover face with hands. Roll over and over or back and forth to put out the fire. Immediately cool the burn with cool water for 3 to 5 minutes and then seek emergency medical care.”
This video is a great illustration of what not to do.
I hope this bride didn’t suffer serious injuries.

Stop. Drop. And roll. It’s that simple.

Well, in regards to the stop drop and roll thing, I think maybe she wanted to preserve some sense of dignity on the wedding day.
I’d say that flailing around on the ground is more apt to ruin the moment than a little clothing fire, perhaps that’s just me though.

Point 1.
Stop drop and roll, always a good idea.
point 2.
why the fuck are you running around with things on fire at your wedding?
Cos large amounts of booze and fire mix always so well.
I’ve had a piece of clothing catch on fire while wearing it. The sleeve of my sweater brushed over the burner of a stove and caught fire. I knew the “stop drop and roll” thing - heck, I was in elementary school, just the age when they try to drill this into your head.
Believe me, ’stop drop and roll’ is not the first thing that comes to mind in this type of situation. I was so freaked out that I pulled the sweater off and jumped on it to extinguish the flames. I think this girl was just trying to keep the flames as far away from her body as she possibly could.
Also? I didn’t need to see this exactly one year from my wedding day.
April Buchheit shared this on FriendFeed. Unfortunately, on the day of your wedding, you have so many things on your mind that things like “stop, drop, and roll” probably go right out the window.
Oh well, she’ll have something to tell the grandkids.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like someone threw something at her, and that is why she caught fire?

This is fake. It was done as a viral video for a company that makes flame retardants for clothing.

Leave fire and wild animals alone. That is my lesson for today
I’m assuming that she isn’t too smart since everyone but the event staff are in blue jeans at her wedding.
