The liability for something like that would be crazy. Imagine accidentally catching some whiney little person's clothes on fire. The lawsuit would be a nightmare.
This isn't legal advice... just... plain sense advice.

Public nuisance?
Disorderly conduct?

They'll but you in a mental institution.


Mr. Know It All
No, but they will lock you up in a loony ward all the same.

not at all... as a matter of fact they usually encourage this sort of thing...

You should get a permit for entertainment purposes and if you are experienced. But just doing it to shock people is definitely going to get you in trouble with the law.

I am with AD it would be funny as hell. But if your want attention and want to die do this. Make a bucket of vasiline and gasoline mixture goto like a 7 story or taller building make up a few pipe bombs with ferdilizer and diesel fuel. Wire them to a timer set it for say 2 to 3 seconds. Smear the vas and gas mixture all over you set yourself on fire, start the timer and jump. in 2 to 3 secs you will blow speading pieces of you all over. Making you immortal.

It probably is illegal. And very stupid too. Please don't do that.

Yes, under the mental heath act

Arson.... Plus the EPA would slap a 50,000 dollar fine on you for creating a public hazard, regardless of how mundane it may seem.

Information Police
Only if you are within 50 ft of a business entrance or school.

you could possibly be arrested for disorderly conduct. more than likely though you would be considered a baker act and taken to a psychiatric facility by the police.

God what some people will do just to shock and get attention. Whatever you do,don't go to the woods while there is a drought could end up with a fire that's out of control and all that would be left for evidence would be the tube of gel that you used to stop you burning.


nature lover
It's rather stupid, and as long as you don't block pedestrians or traffic you should be okay. In some cities blocking people or traffic will get you killed faster than the burns will.

a stupid is, a stupid does!
