Human Torch

Human torch stunt performed above by Billy BBQ Bennett

and in slide show below by Emily Carne.

The Human Torch stunt has been

performed for many years by both

stuntmen and stuntwomen.

It involves the stunt person being

dressed in fully fireproofed nomex

underwear and fireproofed outerwear.

The outside of the suit is coated in a

special preparation of flammable gel

to produce the fireball effect.

The stuntperson then crouches on the

bonnet of a car which is driven

through a flaming fire wall so that the

suit gell catches fire.

You may have seen Emma

Parker-Bowles performing this stunt

during her guest appearance on

Scott May's Daredevil Stunt Show, filmed

for Sky One's Vroom Vroom show.
