SYDNEY (Reuters) - Amateur Sydney stuntman goes up, in flames, comes down short, in bone-breaking fall.
Sydney police patrolling near the Coral Sea Park in the seaside suburb of Maroubra spied a man on the roof of a toilet block douse himself with gasoline, set himself alight, climb onto a BMX bike and launch himself off the block.
Missing a pile of mattresses designed to break his fall, the man's burning clothes were extinguished by police who threw a garbage bin full of water over him.
The 39-year-old Sydney man suffered several fractures including a broken nose and broken wrist, as well as burns, and the loss of his BMX bike which police seized along with a jerry can of gas and lighter. He was in hospital awaiting surgery.
DISCLAIMER. There was going to be a smart comment about how it could be our own lovable Sydney alcoholic, Oz, until I realised the subject in question was 39, and our favourite sauced mod isn't. Oh darn.

Saw it on the news. The tosspot had his mid-teenaged son light him and then film it :rolleyes:
The only tragedy is death didn't come BEFORE he could breed. And my tax paying dollars were wasted on this fcukwits fire/ambo bills. :mad:

What a dumb ass. Hogie, I wouldn't be so sure of that. Stevo is a pretty dumb ass mofo, he'd probably be stupid enough to try it, except he'd probably jump into a lake and not off a roof onto some matresses.
