Man burns genitals in 'Jackass' stunt

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - Attempts to do a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges. The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire.

Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.
According to the complaint:

Anderson pulled down his pants and let Peterson spray him with lighter fluid. When the fire didn't catch, Peterson sprayed more lighter fluid on Anderson, splashing some on his clothing. He tried again to light the fire, catching Anderson's genitals, hands and clothes.

Anderson ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out. Other guests took him to Luther Hospital, and eventually he was treated at the Regions Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns.

Anderson told police who were called to the hospital that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.

Peterson was freed on a $2,000 signature bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

-HECK!

Good name for the group, though. Only a jackass....

Only a man!

Open flame near the junk? That's piles of wrong. I like it how the media is so quick to blame "Jackass".

-HECK!

I'v been to EAU CLAIRE. Spent a week there. Kind of crappy little town.

So crappy that people would set their junk on fire just for something to do? No need to remind ME never to go there...

FINALLY... someone got my comment!!!!

Hehehe, it was a good one.

At some point doesn't the dude who's unit is getting doused with lighter fluid go, "you know what- maybe this is a bad idea." Freakin' lameo.

-HECK!

I agree... I mean, the dude asks this old fart to fire up his nuts then sues him for actually doing it? What the hell?

i dont think he's sueing the police department is pressing charges. The guy is saying he dont want anyone to get into trouble.

Sorry, my memory of the article was messed up. It was charged, not sued they totally should charge them both... dumbasses

charged for being dumbasses, can we do that?

They're so stupid, they probably wouldn't even notice it's not a real crime.

haha true, i burned my eyebrows off oneitme trying to light my teeth on fire, so i guess i could be put in the dumbass catagory
