16-Year-Old Burns Nearly 80 Percent Of Body After Doing Terrifying TikTok Challenge With Mini Flamethrowers

Mason Dark, a 16-year-old student in Wake Forest, North Carolina, is recovering from a severe injury after getting burned on Sunday while trying a dangerous TikTok challenge.
The teen’s mom, Holli Dark, said her son used a lighter and spray paint as part of a challenge that prompts people to use flammable aerosols to create miniature flamethrowers.
“They all heard a big boom, and then Mason came running out and [he] started taking off his shirt,” Holli told WRAL News.
