A Utah man suffered severe burns to his hands and face while trying to start a fire in his backyard fire pit.
The accident happened on Jan. 14 as Jason Hone was working in the backyard of his Orem home. The video shows him crouch down at the fire pit and arrange pieces of wood before being enveloped in a ball of fire.
The father of four frantically jumped away from the fire pit and threw himself onto the snow-covered ground.With the flames on his clothing and beard still burning, Hone removed his coat and forcefully swatted at his face as he ran back to the house. "He's pretty much on the border of being paralyzed," Di Lello said. "If he does one wrong move he could sever the nerve in his back completely."
