Man burns genitals in 'Jackass' stunt

2 hours, 38 minutes ago

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - Attempts to do a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges. The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire.

Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.

According to the complaint:

Anderson pulled down his pants and let Peterson spray him with lighter fluid. When the fire didn't catch, Peterson sprayed more lighter fluid on Anderson, splashing some on his clothing. He tried again to light the fire, catching Anderson's genitals, hands and clothes.

Anderson ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out. Other guests took him to Luther Hospital, and eventually he was treated at the Regions Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns.

Anderson told police who were called to the hospital that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.

Peterson was freed on a $2,000 signature bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

*sigh*

I can't think of anything else to say. Hopefully he can no longer contribute to the ongoing evolution of the human gene pool.

I think “JACKASS” pretty much covers that one.

I do believe we have someone who is eligible for a Darwin Award who is still living. Alcohol and lighters don't mix.

With all due respect, Mistress, I would argue that a more pressing warning might be that lighters and genitals don't mix. That's a mere assumption, mind you -- I can't say I speak from experience.

What I don't get is why he faces a possible 10-year sentence.

Isn't tha tlike rubbing salt on the wound?

If a man can set the world on fire, why can't he do the same with his own testicles?

I conclude this thread should be integrated with the one concerning that piece of human offal in Fla.
