“Unbeknownst to the Troopers, the suspect had a canister of gas in his backpack,” Police Pursuits wrote in the video description. “The TASER prongs likely punctured the can. Burns were mostly superficial, but obviously very painful. He is expected to make a full recovery.”

Mostly superficial?!?!?!?!

For as long as he was engulfed in those flames???????

My guess is at least second degree burns over almost all of his body and he’s fortunate not to have burned his lungs out.

He was engulfed for a full 18 seconds, at minimum.

That’s a long time to have gas burning on one’s skin.

The question arises of WHY he was carrying the gasoline in his backpack. I hate to even think.

Bikers tend to wear heavy and thick clothing for protection against cold and road-rash. Helmet with faceshield would help protect airway.
