LOL. Darwin award winner. First off this idiot didn't "sprinkle" gas on himself. He was dripping in it. That's probably the wrong time to light up your effigy. Secondly, running around like a black Friday shopper when you are lit up like a roman candle is probably the last thing you want to do. Maybe "Stop, Drop and Roll" doesn't translate into Hindi.
