Man Catches Fire After Using Spray-On Sunscreen

So we all know wearing sunscreen prevents you from getting burned in the sun. However, it doesn't seem to prevent you getting burned by your barbeque grill.

That's exactly was happened to a Massachusetts man when his spray-on sunscreen caught fire and severely burned him.

A Massachusetts man said he suffered second-degree burns from a grill after applying sunscreen aerosol spray on parts of his body.

Brett Sigworth said he applied Banana Boat sunscreen to his body before walking over to his grill, not knowing it would still be flammable after it was on his skin.

"I went into complete panic mode and screamed," Sigworth said. "I've never experienced pain like that in my life."

The result was second-degree burns to his chest, ear and back, the only areas where he applied the sunscreen. Ten days after the incident, Sigworth is still showing the effects of the incident.

The warnings on the bottle of Banana Boat sunscreen read, "Flammable, don't use near heat, flame or while burning." But nothing about once it's applied.

Sorry to the guy, but he made a seriously stupid mistake. I doubt once an aerosol-based sunscreen hits your skin it instantly becomes fireproof. But hey, at least he realized it was a stupid mistake. Sigworth said he will not be pressing charges against Banana Boat, making him one of the few people who doesn't try to blame the product for their own mistake and/or idiocy.
