A 17-year-old skateboarder Michael Wheatley of Severn, Maryland thought it would a fun to light his skateboard on fire and then ride it down the street then try to focus is while the video cameras rolled. Things didn’t go so well, according to The Arundel Muckracker.
Paramedics took the victim to the burn unit at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he was being treated for the burns that could be deadly, said Lt. Stuart Peters, an Anne Arundel fire department spokesman.
Nothing like lighting a fire under your own ass.

He didn’t light the board with intentions of riding it down the street. He lit it trying to weaken the board to break it in half. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you go running your mouth about subjects like this. Kids don’t always think before they do things and this is a good example. That doesn’t give you the right to broadcast a story about it especially when it’s done incorrectly.
