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.
