Its a tragic shame. The parents should be fined or go to court over this poor kids injuries or fined. Using high octane fuel to lite a BBQ is truly idiotic to say the least. Especially squeezing from the can on a hot coals.
Note to self.... Don't use $40 gallon methanol, nitromethane fuel to light BBQ. Save the juice for the models and the dragster. The parent is a moron so I'm pretty sure punishment would do no good and it certainly won't grow skin back. Now the kid will pay for the lack of judgment for the rest of his life.....
Build a man a fire and he's warm for the night. Light a man on fire and he's warm the rest of his life!
