A man killed himself at Burning Man-style arts festival by leaping into a towering burning art structure in front of hundreds of horrified onlookers, authorities and witnesses said.

On Monday, scores of "burners" - who commune in the Nevada desert every August for Burning Man -were mourning the doomed festivalgoer after he dove into the flames during a moonlit bonfire ritual at the Element 11 fest near Salt Lake City late Saturday.

Brilliant!

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down down down
and the flames went higher
and it burns burns burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire

That would be the ideal music for a Preparation H commercial.
