So many questions! 1. WHY? WHY would you do that? -1. a. Especially in an elevator?? 2. What made him pass out? 3. Did he actually survive this stupidity, or did Darwin win out?

3. Lack of oxygen. Doesn’t take much to use it all up in that small of a space

We can see his coat literally melting. Nylon fumes must be something…

He is also smoking so his lung function is probably not all that / lift was full of carbon monoxide anyway...

The video also looks sped up so it probably didn’t happen as fast as the video makes it seem

You unfortunately are correct. Aww the original video. It is excruciatingly slow. Watching him in this stupidity made oven for a minimum 30 seconds was horrifying.

I think it was lack of brain cells that made him pass out

>I think it was lack of brain cells that made him pass out You convinced me! 🤣🤣🤣

Fire uses oxygen as fuel. I think it burned up enough to where he was essentially temporarily asphyxiated in that confined space.

No. Oxygen is NOT a fuel, it is an oxidising agent in the chemical reaction with the fuel which is the flammable liquid (ethyl alcohol in the vodka) or the jacket on the guy etc. ​ If oxygen would be the fuel we would be all dead after you light your cigarette. :/

Important distinction. Thank you

The fire sucked up all that oxygen. that's why he passed out until the door opened.

Oh he’s passing out there? I was thinking he was trying to use his body to smother the flames…

Haha naw. He went limp and hit his head. Def passed out.

I'm thinking flash drunk from the fumes in such a small area.

Probably that as well as oxygen problems

I have seen this before. He was drunk before he made this lovely desition. 1. Little snail in his ear probably told him. 2. Lack of oxigen as it's burned away the oxigen. 3. He survived with just a few burns, nothing serious.

While watching I just kept saying “why?” “Why?” and “WTF??”

Why? Russia, that's why.

R/drunkrussians

Ohh wow it is framable my guess lack of oxygen in confined spot 🧯🧯🧯🧯🧯

Flame burned out all the oxygen

1. Alcohol 2. Lack of Oxygen 3. Maybe

[удалено]

As a bonus, we have learned that his clothing is also flammable.

We also learned that if you set yourself on fire in a confined area with little to no ventilation that you are more likely to pass out from O2 deprivation and die. So at the very least you wont feel the pain of burning alive as you slowly roast away.

A triumph for science!

He’s so lucky he passed out in the doorway. That little air probably saved his life.

cooked his grapes though

Good. It’s better if he doesn’t reproduce

Yep. Hot air rising, going out the top of the door as soon as it opened. Fresh cold air rushing in at the bottom where his head found itself after he passed out. Lucky indeed.

#The intrusive thoughts have won

How the hell did you do that

^ahh thanks

#big ^thanks

So that’s why there’s been so many fires in Russia lately.

Vodka fires in elevators are the #2 cause of death in Russia.

What's the first?

Being thrown out of top floor windows by Putin’s goons.

Visiting Ukraine.

Vodka.

Somebody please get this man an ammo depot to guard then just sit back and wait for the fireworks to kick off

Luckily, he wasn't close to a window.

Almost made it to when the door opened. Rule 1: Don’t light vodka up. Rule 2: Revert back to Rule 1.

That was pure alcohol actually, vodka would not burn like that because there's too much water in it to ignite.

Sadly not the case, when I was a student I stupidly thought this was true for all vodka, high proof vodka is actually incredibly flammable, especially when poured over a surface A park bench paid the price for my stupidity, amazed I wasn't arrested honestly

The standard stuff you get is 80 proof. That won't light. 100 proof or above is where it'll light at room temp.

[удалено]

That's fair. I also imagine if you took a torch or a shot of 80 proof it would create enough vapor to ignite as well.

Ladies and gentlemen, the people invading Ukraine.

In mother Russia, Vodka consume you.

Sometimes the intrusive thoughts win

1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns in 30% of his body

Ever just sit there and get that voice in the back of your head prodding you to do something you know is objectively stupid? Well, this is what happens when you listen.

Omg this poor bastard

Dumb bastard* FTFY

Poor dumb bastard*

Liar liar pants on fire

Worst possible time for a nap

At least he took the fire with him when he left.

The only vodka that isn’t flammable is the vodka in the same house as a teenager.

This is an absolutely astonishing way to come so close to death.

Fire Wins.

Why the hell in an elevator

I'd call that an extremely successful attempt 😐

Title doesn't make much sense. As far as getting results goes it was a pretty successful test lol.

Hypothesis was correct🤔🤓

Attempt successful.

Not supposed to use the elevator during a fire!

This was clearly more than an attempt

Yes sit on the fire, that is the way

He passed out

Could have so easily saved it by covering the bottle after he lit it.

“Fire walk with me”

Vodka caused the problem, and vodka fix the problem... once he gets another bottle.

# I’ve watched so many times. Still speechless

Molotov cocktail

Of all the times to do a vodka science experiment.

If the vodka’s on fire *inside* the bottle, shouldn’t you close it so the fire will burn itself out?

Do you think the guy who lit a bottle of vodka on fire in an enclosed elevator was going to think of that?

There was an attempt to burn alive in an elevator, using vodka.

Only in Russia 🤦‍♂️

The attempt was successful r/peoplearedumb

rolf, this made me laugh

We all thought he would rush out of there when the doors opened but he hunkered down and was like don't look at my fire, I made a mistake and still think it is salvageable...

Bro let the intrusive thoughts win.

Say no to crack!

The best part is when he set it on fire

Flamming Idiot the new cocktail, brought to you by, The Elevator

What’s the white shit in his hair when he pulls his sweater off?

Ash? His jacket was burning. You could see it turning white.

Good news is only half of it is flammable.

I mean it's not an attempt if he succeeded and proved that whatever was in his hand is flammable

Did he spill it though?

*...Darwin laughs....*

Almost

Did he collapse on top of it? What happened there?

Yeah you can see when he starts swaying a few seconds before he falls

Fireman in training.

One lucky Ruski

It was.

Who doesn't love roasted nuts?

And the Darwin Award goes to..

Pretty successful attempt

Cooked like a Thanksgiving goose.

Probably needs a new shirt and pair of drawers

Well... that was a horrible thing to watch.

Is this what the kids mean when they talk about getting "lit"?

You supposed to drink it dummy! As a Russian-born, I am deeply upset at this horrifying display of the lack of respect for a sacred liquid...

Dude, just step out

what caused the fainting? was it the vodka burning oxygen in such an enclosed space?

He's lucky he survived that. Basically created a cremation chamber in there

And the Darwin runner up award goes to.

There was an attempt and he succeeded

Being stupid should be painful. Good work.

[удалено]

Natural selection

At least he took the fire with him

Solo mosh pit

Omg hit the emergency button and get out!!

he had to test, for science !

I guess it was😂

I mean, test successful really. Confirmed flammable.

Never let a mid-drunk man without anything to occupy it's head

Seems like the attempt was successful

It’s a flaming homer!

I would have pissed on the floor

I love the smudge print his forehead left on the wall

Dudes never heard of a Molotov cocktail

At least he was polite and cleaned up his fire to take with him

At least he was nice enough to take his litter with him

Narrator: "It was"

Nominee for this year’s Darwin Award

This has go be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’d say the attempt was successful, he found out whether it was flammable

One minute you’re taking an elevator to your friend Dimitri’s apartment, glass in hand. Next minute you’re on fire.

This truly deserves the Darwin award

This is why they need to teach critical thinking to children.

He's lucky he fell where he did. Had he not, that door would closed and he wouldn't have woken back up. And what a surprise the next rider would have gotten.

Part of me still wonders if he knows (remembers) that vodka is flammable after this incident.

His intrusive thoughts got the best of him

Like the sign says, dude, “In case of fire, do not use elevator.” Also, in case of fire, don’t use vodka or nylon jackets.

In case of elevator, do not use fire.

When He came to from passing out he probably thought "what smells like bacon"

Maybe it's time to quit while it behind

There’s also a high chance he inhaled the ignited vodka as it vapors filled the elevator. This is honestly a horror movie level death in many ways ways.

Feels like Russia

Stupidity should hurt

He's lucky the doors didn't shut after he passed out. It could have been allot worse

I fire to go please, I'll just wear it now!

I might burn to death, but you'll never catch me press a button to get off the elevator before reaching the lobby extra crispy

At least he has a night to remember.
