Jackass Stunt Gone Wrong - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - Attempts to do a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges. The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire.

Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.

According to the complaint:

Anderson pulled down his pants and let Peterson spray him with lighter fluid. When the fire didn't catch, Peterson sprayed more lighter fluid on Anderson, splashing some on his clothing. He tried again to light the fire, catching Anderson's genitals, hands and clothes.

Anderson ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out. Other guests took him to Luther Hospital, and eventually he was treated at the Regions Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns.

Anderson told police who were called to the hospital that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.

Peterson was freed on a $2,000 signature bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

Well, that sounds like a really well thought-out idea.

I agree, If someone is stupid enough to try it, I don't feel a bit sorry for them. This reminds me of an incident that happened just down the road from me about 5 years ago.

A car with 2 men ran out of gas and they pulled over and went to a house across the road to use the phone. The owner had a gallon of gas that he just gave them & it was more than enough to get them to the gas station about a mile away.

They decided to pour some into the carburetor first but it was night and they didn't have a flashlight. Instead of going back to the house to try and borrow one, One of the men decided to use a lighter. I don't have to tell you what happened next. I do know that both were burned severely and I have no idea if they recovered or not.

I've never really liked these guys, but I think the dislike turned to hatred once I heard this story:

"STUNT NO LAUGHING MATTER FOR AMBOS" (Ambos = Ambulances)

They usually get laughs for stapling themselves, snorting wasabi and generally suffering pain for fun but a Jackass prank in Darlinghurst this week turned very unfunny when ambulance crews were called to their hoax emergency.

Two crews were rushed to Oxford Street club, Ruby Rabit, in the early hours of yesterday morning after being alerted to a man lying on the pavement receiving CPR from a woman.
They arrived to find it was Jackass prankster BAM MARGERA pretending to have collapsed and having attracted two female fans to give him mouth-to-mouth, all of it being caught on film.

It's understood a passer-by dialled triple-O after seing the 'emergency'. An ambulance service spokeswoman said such hoaxes were not a laughing matter.

"Hoax and nuisance calls represent a severe drain on our resources and cost the community many hundreds of thousands of dollars each year". She said.

After rushing to an 'unknown situation', the ambos realised the prank soon after arriving, with Margera then quickly whisked back to his hotel by management.

Margera's Jackass budies PRESTON LACY and STEVE-O had carried him out of theclub and left him on the pavement apparantly needing medical attention in what was understood to be a "River Phoenix viper room stunt".

The Jackass crew -- minus JOHNNY KNOXVILLE who had retired to his hotel room -- were celebrating WOLFMOTHER frontman Andrew Stockale's 30th birthday at the club after the band's Horden Pavillion gig.

They are filming footage as they follow Wolfmother on their Aussie tour and hed to the Splendour In The Grass festival at Byrn Bay with them this weekend."
