You can't get fired if you fire the company first
underrated comment😂😂
Very underrated comment 🤣

No, but you can get prison time 😂
People like him are the reason we have warning signs on literally everything
🤣🤣 yup
Yep. Warning signs on coffee cups because uh it's hot!

I find it amazing this guy survived childhood.
He did, but who else in his wake DIDNT?
Now let's see if he survives prison.
This man actually saved countless lives. This product should not exist nor factory that produces it.
And yes, he still can breed
It's China he is 14 years old worker
Proof that we all experience life differently. I would’ve had a million thoughts telling me why that was a bad idea. This guy didn’t have a single one. Amazing.
im surprised we're so successful as a species with dumb people like that reproducing
I’ve only recently come to realize this
Or he did and ignored all of them
He did it intentionally
He had those millions of thoughts, sadly his curiosity overwhelmed him and he is not quick enough to put a stop on it
Nobody has ever been more fired in history than this guy
That's punny.
“Fired guy” - Kevin Malone
Why fire? This is some expensive training!
Napoleon?
yeah, reports say that he was sooo incredibly fired!
Someone never received the 100% tested fireproof insulation foam he ordered on Ali Baba
Ahahahahaha😂😂😂
This one thing is gonna change this carefree guy's life for eternity.
Or at the very least, his harvested organs.
Yes, chinese prisons will do that to you.
I think most carefree guys need aan event with dire consequences to happen in their life, for them to change
This one needs less freedom
@@caroline61804 what if you gave him freedom, AND discipline? Rather than just taking away his freedom and making him think that you are an irrational fascist that needs to be revolted against.
The test was a success, the foam was infact flammable
Hmmm results are still somewhat inconclusive. Gonna need more data 😂
@@planetschlocklet's hire this guy. I hear he's the most experienced person in earth on this test.
Null hypothesis rejected ☑
Well... he probably thought it was inflammable... badum tss.
@QHSupportGroup Indeed, p was in fact less than .05.
I cannot fathom this man's thought process.
Intrusive thoughts
This is one of the rare situations where you don't exaggerate when you say "it BURST into flames".
I'm impressed at his decision to test it out with the organize deck of rolls, not just in one isolated roll.
Exactly...outdoors too.
🤣🤣🤣
Impressed eh?
And so close to his genitalia
@@thatguy1729 impressed by the sheer stupidity
From no fire to ALL FIRE in 2.1 seconds is impressive
What a great description!!!😆🤣🤣🤣
You can see the butane violently blasting out between the rolls and lighting them all as it expands.
@@daviddavies822lmao I like the way he worded it too
It's the McLaren of packing materials.
race car designers should take notes
Thats the safety inspector.
The foam passed.
@throwaway3873
China will be exporting it for use as insulation in houses.
Please reconsider criticizing the validity of this test as this could result in a deduction of up to 2,000 social credits.
Casting aside the "haha china bad" jokes: Foam is usually very flammable, which is why that guy is an idiot.
A shame he falsified his application for a darwin award by running before it all went up
Passed away *😂
I love how he frantically tries to pat it out _"I can fix this!"_ gives up _"No I can't!"_ takes a few steps, looks over his shoulder to see the whole room on fire, and then bails.
🤭😄😆😂🤣
Not to mention his "working" clothes...
At least he truly claim that he did try to put it out.
"I can put this out! Oh, no I can't... Or can I? No."
Trainer: So listen these materials are extremely flammable.
New Guy: Is it really? Bet. Let me try.
Somehow I doubt that he was actually trained if he decided to do something like this.
I’m more surprised by how fast the rolls went up in flames
@@ianpayad4595 it's new produced so it's contain butane
@@ianpayad4595
Butane gas is what you normally use in portable gas burner, that thing.
@@ianpayad4595 Duh it's flammable. And it's sort of like a gas flammable substance unlike petrol or gasoline which is heavier hence the air helps in reaction fast. Aviation fuel also burns super fast like this infact much faster tbh.
this man proved the whole world that curiosity can be bad
Curiosity without safety are disaster waiting to happen.
Or like the pandora’s box myth
Better say, curiosity with no brain is bad.
I wouldn’t say curiosity in itself is the issue, rather the lack of braincells that acted upon the curiosity.
He could’ve just taken and ignited one isolated foam in a controlled environment to test how flammable it was, instead of igniting a foam that is in close proximity to dozens of other foams.
@@irminalasimin2385 women Am I RigHt🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is a joke
At least he answered his BURNING question
" _Curious worker_ "
Thats a strange way to say *Arsonist*
That is honestly the fastest I’ve ever seen a flame go from a small fire to 20+ rolls up in roar flames in literally less than a second! That’s terrifying!
At least they have unity, as in if you are in it bro, I will be with you too.
Foams full of butane gas
In europe you would be fined into oblivion if you had such a material stocked that way
@@metalema6 To be fair you can get fined for pretty much anything in Europe
Yeah true. I thought the same. I never saw anything like that before. It took 2 seconds and whao...
Well, he has taught millions of viewers a lot about foam and fire
Well we can learn a lot from the pain and experience of others😂
😅
True u dnt wnt that in ur house
hahaha
coincidentally "About Foam and Fire" is the name of my 7th album.
The fanning he does with his hands gets me everytime🤣 that ain't working bro.
The rate of ignition is insane. Everything simultaneously bursting into flame in the same instant. It didn't even spread, it was just...not on fire to on fire.
Kudos to him on identifying a dangerously fire hazard. Employee of the month
Would you have said that if you had a family member who worked in the same room? Or this was your business they were setting fire to?
Nah just some brain dead comment on UA-cam.
@@savannahglebe5165 yeah. The owner should be jailed and penalized. The worker should get only minor punishment.
@@sanjeen2503 You mean the owner who wasnt even there? Had the employee not taken a lighter to it it would never had happened.
I can see your logic there 😂
You need locking up with him you scumbag.
@@sanjeen2503 yea. The worker discover that foam is highly flamable, that should significant reduce his punishment
"Today, smoking is going to save lives."
I don't know if any amount of safety training would have stopped people like this guy. Choosing to light a fire at a large group instead of taking small amount, doing this in front of a security camera, having nothing on hand to put out even a small fire...
@Smoke King life time
Here is where you are wrong. The people who owned the warehouse went the easy and fast way. They recruited illiterate, poor, untrained and cheap-pay workers like him to do the heavy lifting/manual labor. The guy is obviously illiterate and I am quite certain he was never trained. More importantly, when you own a warehouse that contains flammable materials, there are certain safety standards to adhere to. Either the provincial authorities do not regulate safety standards or the owner did not bother. Simply covering the flammable foam via tarpaulin or some cloth, or separating the rolls of foam would have prevented the fire from covering the warehouse.
Regarding people being killed, this is not arson. This is gross negligence and that too, the negligence is not the worker's alone. The owners are equally at fault for not training him and for not implementing safety and preventive measures in their warehouse. Don't blame the worker fully.
Prime candidate for natural selection
Impulsivity is indeed scary
I would've taken a small piece
Then again the human brain doesn't think at all times
No protections? No tarps over the material? No warning labels? The foam isn't packaged in any way, shape or form?
No matter how the fire was lit, just one random spark could have yielded the same result here as it seems. It doesn't actually matter that it was the curiosity of a worker - if your product is this flammable and you do not have any precatuions against desaster, it's on you. Here, the warehouse company is clearly largely responsible for this.
Nah if he was curious he’d rip a tiny piece off and go outside. This was deliberate.
Now I understand why every factory job requires 5/10 years of experience
Right. Nobody should work there. At all.
Experience in what? House chores? You need to get a factory job to even have that 5 year experience
Best I can guess is he thought it was the type of foam that burns without catching flame, or he thought the flame wouldn't spread for some reason.
For more advanced jobs yeah. But there are many factory jobs that require little to no experience.
This guy should face discipline. Some kind of report in his employment file or something. And no raise for at least a year.
You know that feeling of dread you get when you've done something you know you can't return from? It's something you can't hide and get away with. That guy just felt it big time.
I call it, “this wasn’t a problem 5 minutes ago”
Well being adulterous is worse than this, yet people dont dread.
The dread is because others will know no matter what, and you will be facing penalty. Many Adulterors in the chat being triggered by what i said.. Truth hurts.
@@MrOrangeonion Worse than possibly burning other people? Way to sort out your priorities.
Nope, can't say I've felt that lol
I would just jump into fire. So I don't have to deal with the consequences. And death penalty is appropriate here anyway.
If he wanted to test the flammability, maybe take a small piece outside, far away from other flammable things.
Bro fired the whole company before they could fire him. 💀
That's, without any doubt, the most successful fire test I've ever seen in my life.
Seriously?! Successful fire test?! Hmmmm.... Maybe this idiot can see check if *Mauna Kea & Kilauea* volcanoes are hot enough to set things on fire if someone gets really close.
😂
It was pretty much instant results. Blink and you miss it kind.
Exactly! He should be praised for his efforts and given a promotion.
@@toucansam3 Try to imagine the fumes those rolls must be giving off.
There is a part of me that feels sorry for this man, but that part of me is eclipsed by the side that is just happy I will never do anything remotely as dumb.
Same
Never say never. 80 million people voted for Joe despite him clearly undergoing elderly abuse.
I do t feel sorry. He should go to prison for that
Curiosity killed this cat. This mans organs will be harvested soon enough.
I don't feel sorry for him at all. I'm like: "Dude, you're not 4".🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
"Today i learned that flammable and imflammable mean the same thing"
He just proved that making foam from butane is a bad idea ....
I can comprehend his curiosity about seeing if/or how flammable the foam was but I will never understand how lighting a roll on fire instead of cutting a piece off was how he decided to go about it 🤦🏾♂️
Maybe there's a rule against cutting off pieces
@@benjiunofficial And there isn't a rule for burning the full piece next to all the other pieces?
@@lytereaper Nope.
Some people skip steps during thinking process.
This. I was wondering the same thing. Why not cut a piece off and take it to an open concreted space?
Only 2 words can describe how I’m feeling..
This guy
With "sigh" 😔 face ofc
excited and regretful?
You're. Fired.
@@Onerva_official lol
@@Onerva_official More like, You're Jailed
Wow that escalated quickly
Well at least he satisfied his curiosity
It’s crazy how it can take less than a minute to cause such destruction and to forever change the trajectory of one’s life.
Crazy it only took few seconds for it to spread
well it gas what you expect? slow spread it a chemical reaction genius 🤣
He have nobody to blame apart for himself...
Less than 1 second
Many life
That moment of stupidity that immediately turned into the realization he just burned his whole life down with all that foam. I get being curious but I will never understand adults that do stuff like this without the obvious thought "Maybe I should cut a small piece and test it outside?"
Or, you know, you could probably look it up.
@@dylansp4049only if it can be looked for on their internet. It seems very limited for Chinese citizens.
@@dylansp4049that sort of search would lead to losing social credit and a police visit
@@dylansp4049do you really think he has a smartphone let alone a internet connection
@@justsomeguy4260 why shouldn't he?
its always the guy in the flipflops
The employees probably had no idea they were huffing butane fumes all day either.
This is the story of a man named Stanley. He was so bad at following instructions that it's incredible he wasn't fired years ago.
tHE eND :D
...that didn't help at all.
Was he attempting to fire himself??!
STANLEY!
Oh, yes.. The Parable
Who's that ?
Caller: "Is your foam resistant to fire?" Worker: "I don't know?" Caller: "Can you test it please?" That was the last sales-related call of the year.
😂😂😂👍
🤣
Curious wlto know what his reply was to the caller afterwards
@@thecynicalafro160 already too dead to reply 😂
@@thecynicalafro160 "The Fire Department can answer that one, we are out of stock at the moment."
That escalated quickly
Ive seen a video of this foam catching fire from a sratic spak during unloading. Its extremely flamable, yet being handled like just regular bulk material.
Surprised how he survived this, seeing how fast the fire spreads
Luckily the room is open and ventilated. If not it will blast the f*ck out of him 🤣
Ofc, he is the first person that knew
Not as surprised as him.
I agree. I’ve never seen anything that ignited that fast ever.
He has no clothes.
He wasn’t testing the flammability, he was testing his running speed.
And his stupidity 😂
He just wanna know if Fire resistance works
@@vicenteflores9711 Running speed 5/10
Stupidity 10/10
0:19 he could've lit that 🧐
😂😂
Such volatile substances shouldn't be kept in a careless way like that in the first place.
I guess he wasn't smart enough to tear a piece of foam off a roll and just light that small piece.
i'm impressed with how quick the fire spread, just like a sec
Obvious he was also impressed. His reaction shows that he never expected this.
Yeah it's typically what happens when you put fire near high amount of butane gas
Butane gas is basically stove gas so yeah its about as fast as a stove lighting up
The correct word is amazed. There's nothing to be impressed of from a mistake.
@@khairirais for you its "amazed" for him its impressed .
Was this guy an actual employee? If so, I love the dress code they've implemented. Very relaxed.
🤣😂
Might not be cause if he is, he should know that new freshly made foam is highly flammable
Well unlike America he dont have to wear bullet proof vest everytime, just relax🤣🤣
@@MOBAgaming200 😑 youre clearly not from the US huh?
@@El_Scorcho_ He's not, that's why he doesn't need to wear bulletproof vest.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Sheesh that went up incredibly fast
The education and common sense of that man is off the charts.
Quite literally
Because probably he isn’t educated. Poverty strikes ;
It wasn't on the charts to begin with
Staying curious and keeping the mind open new ideas is the best way to achieve a well rounded education.
One of the first things I learned as a child was that "science" was to be conducted in an at least somewhat controlled environment!
At least he answered his question.
he succedded. but at what cost?
@@galomuk At all Costs!!
An answer he was not expecting
He should be proud of himself. His ancestors are all smiling down on him.
Maybe it was a company question and then they blamed him. They shouldn't make that foam.
"DELETE FROM warehouse"
This is what happens when you run this query in production! 😂
Otherwise known as arson by sheer stupidity.
Dude didn’t even have the intelligence to just rip a piece off, then light it💀
Some people genuinely make goldfish look like intelligent life forms.
ua-cam.com/video/INRU6f62hv8/v-deo.html
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly, I was like why....
After watching I think I know what happened. You can see some material has already been pulled away. The workers were probably taking pieces and lighting it on fire, because that sounds fun. Maybe he walked over there with an open flame and it caught while he was trying to pull some away.
His intelligence is equivalent to the average American voter.
He is like that one child in every pre-schoolclass who just HAS to do exactly the opposite to what the teachers has said. I always wonder what becomes of these children, now I got my answer.
The most of them are criminals now.
Oooh..i cant with you.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ive always wondered too🤭🤭🤭
As that child I can approve of this. Now as a teenager I'm a pyromaniac who loves trying which no one else does. Sometimes I even go out of my way and get something worse than normal because no one uses that. Whenever I download a software it is some obscure beta version with next to no downloads.
@@duovigintillongaming3779 uh huh
@Eduardo Tenorio”died as an infant” that… isn’t how natural selection works in humans at all.
The way the fire was able to grow so quickly in 1 second is amazing.
That escalated quickly.
If he was so “curious” he could have ripped off a piece and then test it OUTSIDE. But seeing as how he was “smart” enough to light it INSIDE, he might finally have earned a brain cell that actually works.
Yeah that was my thought too. Just rip a piece off...
Pretty funny though
That's a lesson stuck on his brain now. Lol
Imagine he ripped it off, but because of the wind it flies back to the foam😂...
great success 🙂!!!
@Get Zappéd 1974 Probably dips his face in it first before eating.
"It's okay to make mistakes"
The mistake:
50 likes and no comment? Let me fix that
Fail fast fail early
This is the sort of thing you think about, then leave it at that.
at least his curiosity satisfied
"Courage is when we take a stand on something that we know would hurt us"
"Stupidity is the same"
"That's why life is dangerous"
Headphone jack must have been way up apple's nose
The difference between courage and stupidity is the same as the one between might and would I believe
I like to say:
The difference between courage and stupidity? The results.
I don't think he knew it would do that..
What a comment man
I like how he made the effort to hide the lighter with his body from the camera.
Like there’s any possibility the security guys watching this were gonna assume he could make flame from his hands.
😂
Hahaha xD
When is he doing that?
😂
Lol yeah I think he thought it would catch fire like toilet paper, a small amount
Its mad how fast it all burns
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message
Joke Reference lol 😂
Everything burns
Yeah but joker isnt this dumb 🗿
To who? CCP?
"It's not always about the money Spiderman..."
I work with foams. Even the so called "fire resistant" foams are highly flammable. 😳
Wow... that's fascinating! Would love to know more.
arent they called Heat resistant and they melt instead of igniting like that?
Probably just means it can tolerate warmer environments before igniting. Putting a flame to it is not a normal storage situation.
Foam worker
Is it bad for your lungs? Working around so much foam for long hours
Whenever your find yourself feeling dumb, just go back to this video and you'll feel relieved.
After the test, he made sure it was successful by turning back.
A Darwin Award for this guy!!
Does not meet the requirements.
Man this worker never grew up or something
Thats literally the stupidest thing you can do, if you are not sure then dont do it!!!
@@lilyzhu9713 especially when it comes to fire. I can understand the Curiosity, but since when do adults go around playing by setting things on fire and trying to find out what happens. Lol
Darwin award need to be pepsi
"These foam is filled with highly flammable butane."
This guy: Is that actually true? Welcome back to Fact or Cap
Fact it is
fact or cap 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
😭😂😂😂
Thanks
I've heard that foam is highly flammable but kudos to this worker for so dramatically demonstrating that property! I am both shocked and impressed by the resulting flames. 🔥👀😲
😀 shocking
Says butane in the story
Thanks to him I didn't bother trying this at my work place
Massive props to this guy. 🙏
He's one whose personality lights up the room.
The entire neighbourhood.
Literally
Literally
Hes just too hot to handle lol
His jokes are always fire 🔥🔥🔥
"The man has been arrested..." seems to me like the manufacturers should be arrested for producing something like that and the safety issues it presents.
I was looking for this comment. Is there a legitimate need for highly flammable foam? Or was this a massive workplace tragedy waiting to happen?
As my grandfather used to say, “A few seconds of dumb behavior can result in a lifetime of woe.”
No wonder he ded 💀🤣
Woe..bet he doesnt care..unless he has to pay money for it..
He's probably not smart enough to understand sorry.
Woe- Pronounced "Wooh" / "Whoa" /"Woo" "Wooh-EE"? Please explain..
@@PlagueWieldr like toe with a w..means lk sadness
That seems a bit like a fire hazard
That guy is so fired
He was testing the flammability for safety reasons. Now we know. Thank you pyro man.
And the burning answer to the flammability test is (drum roll), YES it's flammable......... congratulations young man you have just won, jail time................
he might have well been testing his own safety conditions, as being in an environment with that much butane, knowing its denser than regular air, cant be safe.
That was not curiosity, that was ignorance
Amen!
What to expect bet he’s chinese
Those traits are not mutually exclusive una.
You need ignorance for curiosity. It is a mandatory condition for it id say.
That was stupidity..!
Well his hunch was right, he just proved it in the wrong way.
That's actually quality testing, he tested the foam before putting a highly flammable sticker so that he can confirm that it's actually highly flammable.
Lol
Science
@@themindeclectic9821 saiyans
Yeah and the foam is gone after the "quality testing" 🤣
💀
I never trust a factory where people wear shorts and flipflops and no t shirt.
im sorry what did he think was gonna happen???
They will have to take the cost of the damage from his severance package and then pay out the balance.
A perfect example of a personality type that only lives in the moment.
No personality. He is Chinese
Coz he will be dead soon.
Live
Love
Laugh
😂😂😂
A true Stoic.
No... one mistake doesnt define personality.
He absolutely didnt expect the flames to spread based on his life experience or lack thereof.
I’m sure that guy was “fired” after that
are you my dad🗿
more like he got promotion to jail.
Him, his friend, his superior, even his company owner are probably fired all together
That guy really likes action. Let's put him in the military to get his heart "fired" up once he's in the combat field.
Arrested not fired 😊
He’s Fired!
Were there no safety warnings or precautions
I find it quite magnificent at the rate at which All caught fire. I cant be the only one amazed at this.
I was just thinking this
I know right, it was like an explosion
I can imagine one of his coworkers or trainers told him how flammable that stuff is, and he was like psshhhh...I don't believe it. Let's see 👀 🔥💥
Someone commented earlier that this stuff is so noxious that it has to sit in a warehouse with major area ventilation for months after it's been rolled just to get some of the chemical fumes off of it.
The way this went up it must have still been essentially a big soup of chemicals and fumes.
Beautiful!
“Its not about foam, it’s about sending a message.”
😆😆😆 underrated comment
It's about Mickey Foam! But sure straight in the middle of the angle of the camera!
Well that escalated quickly
No. Curiosity is something very different from stupidity. I really hope this person has been charged with criminal charges and is in jail. Quite possibly his stupidity caused the company to go bankrupt.
This is the guy who needs "do not eat" warnings on his soap and "flammable" warnings on a matchbox.
Foam was prolly labelled "inflammable".
😂😂😂
