Fire-breather accidentally sets face alight during performance
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Could this be the most terrifying thing to witness in a public performance? Ouch!

'Play with fire, and you're bound to get burnt' is a common saying that we have heard over time. This fire-breather got a lesson in this first hand.

Audience members at a fire-breathing festival in Russia were horrified when they witnessed a daredevil performing his stunt and managed to somehow set his face alight. People at the festival that were having a good time definitely did not expect this to happen?!
When watching this video, the first thought that came to mind was, 'when good times go bad'.
First, you see the guy spinning around and the next his facial hair catches on fire, then he drops to the ground. People rush to his rescue to help put his face out.
I can just imagine the panic set in for onlookers as they see this unfold in front of their eyes? I would have been completely beside myself if I was at the festival.
Have you ever attempted to do a party trick that went completely wrong?
