A man has suffered burns to approximately 20% of his body after he lit a match behind a friend who was filling up his car at a gas station in Phoenix, Arizona.

Warning: Video may be distressing to some viewers

The footage shows the prankster enveloped in flames as the driver of the car jumps out of the way. A woman and a child later emerge from the car. Quick thinking employees avoided a potentially major disaster by shutting down the pumps almost immediately. [Sky News]
