First of all I want to give my condolences to the Burners who were apart of this tragic event as well as the friends and family of Aaron Joel Mitchell.
Yes it’s true people aren’t supposed to die at Burning Man, but people aren’t supposed to be stupid either. As a Burner of 2006 and 2008, I can tell you first hand that when the Man burns that fire is HOT! I don’t know if they still run around the burning remains but even getting within 3 feet of that bonfire is primal cause enough to keep ones distance. I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but from what I can tell in both of these videos: the guy is a recipient of a Darwin Award.
Feel free to weigh-in as an BM2017 eyewitness or as a Steemian with sense enough not to hurl ones self into a heap of bright orange coals.
