Star Wars fans burnt by petrol-filled 'light sabre'

A man of 20 and a girl aged 17 were engulfed in flames when a home-made Star Wars "light sabre" exploded and showered them with burning petrol.
Mark Webb and Shelley Mandiville are thought to have filled a fluorescent tube with fuel to imitate the weapons in the latest Star Wars film Revenge of the Sith, released at the weekend. But their clothing caught fire and Mr Webb suffered 40 per cent burns.
Firemen were called to woodland near Hemel Hempstead, Herts, on Sunday and found them on the ground. Police think they had been filming themselves.
Last night they were in a critical condition at a specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex.
Nope. Just stupid.
And yeah. People are going to laugh at your stupidity - us included. That's what happens when this kind of stupidity is unleashed on the general populace.
If you're looking for sympathy, you're looking in the wrong place. Go troll somewhere else.
It's a wonder you haven't removed yourselves from the gene pool yet. And given what was on the movie and the site, you'll zot yourself before the year is out.
sometimes stupidity rewards itself appropriately.
Dumbasses they were. Time for them I have not.
irrespective of inspiration, again: sometimes stupidity rewards itself appropriately.
Because I know everyone was curious...
I'm laughing at the horrific stupidity of filling a thin toxic glass tube with accelerant and LIGHTING IT ON FIRE. Next time you want to try something like that, do us all a favor, just eat the glass and drink the fuel. Then should yourself in the head and fall into your own freshly dug grave.
Sheeeesh.
Ach!
Then you should shoot yourself in the head and fall into your own freshly dug grave.
Not even a red x

You calling yourselves "stunt people" is an insult to REAL stunt people. There is no comparison or reality to your statement.
Your statements are just as unbelieveable as comparing your friends incident to pro stunt people as those backyard idiot geeks hitting themselves with chairs who think they are true professsional wrestlers. LOL
Get a clue...when "friends" do stupid dangerous things and get hurt; people will judge you according to your deeds. Don't like responses then don't defend such "questionable" (trying to be nice) behavior.
Sorry I'm late. I've been off line since 4 pm yesterday. Dang job has me on the road too much lately.
What's the verdict? Mono is still breathing so that is a good sign for Mono.
You look like just
"May the torch be with you."
Hehheh! 20 years old? I don't know if 20-year-olds should have the right to vote.
Frankly, I'd like the voting age to start at 45. I'm only 40, but the older I get, the more I realise how stupid my age group actually is.
