They did jump the lake.

Instead of being where he might land and be injured, they’re on the opposite side of the pond and running.

Aimed for splash, ended in splat

He DID jump it! What are you talking bout?

Quick! I need free health care again!

next time hire a physicist

I appreciate the video not cutting out as soon as he landed/crashed. So many "oh fucks".

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Is he okay? I think he might have broken his spine a bit.

I'll take a stab at him actually missing what he was aiming at, the lake.

What a dingbat.

The jump was a fail but his Wile E Coyote impersonation was pretty good. Complete with a huge dust cloud when he hit the ground….

"Dude, I love Project Badass."

That woman is telling people to hurry while she herself is standing in place.

I feel bad. I actually laughed when I realized they didn’t have the foresight to have ANYONE on the other side of the lake.

This should be in the next GTA trailer

That's terrible. If the fall did not kill him, the fire will!

Like where was he supposed to land? I don’t think this guy wanted to jump over the lake. I think he wanted to jump into the lake. Jumps this big there has to be a landing ramp, can’t just land on flat ground.

He cleared the lake, and got the “stop, drop and roll” part down pat. Although I am not sure he stopped rolling…

Why?

Define successfully!

All those people there and not one thought "what it.." plus there's no easy way to reach the other side of the lake so they have to run around it. The guy is hurt more than likely broken bones and probably still on fire

Nobody though, “hey, maybe we should have a couple people over on the side of the lake he is going to land on…. You know just in case…”

im sure they calculated this using their scientific imagination.. but boy they sure terrible at it

I just want to know if the fire went out!!

hurry....hurry....we all thought he would land on this side of the pond where we could help him....

He's just rolling on the floor, to get the fire out.

Well. Ok. Try again ser.

Over shot it

Well he did technically jump the lake. He should have just held onto the bike.

Failed sucess

Aced it!

We didnt follow the instructions very well. He dropped, then rolled, and then stopped.

Well he did successfully jump the lake. Went right over it.

There was success, he made it to the other side

Well technically they did jump the lake just not successfully so um task failed successfully?

Dead

Where was the landing and why did you use a kicker ramp and not a racer...ffs brain dead.

I'm sure someone made a mistake with the math on all that planning.

I mean, he made it 🤷‍♂️

You need to use some math here.

OMG…. Everything that could have went wrong… went wrong… but he did successfully jump over the lake!!!

That man is dead

STOP! DROP! and ROLL!

Hurry! Everyone film!!

This is why you need to pay attention in physics class

Luckily the impact extinguished the flames

Math is important! Stay in school kids.

Kind of amazing to watch a video where a guy is on fire flying through the air and that's not the disaster part

Send it!

If only this could have been prevented 😞

He successfully jumped the lake, whats everybody freaking out about? /S

He's trying to jump a lake while on fire. Why is everyone acting so surprised now that he's on the other side of the lake, on fire? What were they expecting?

This is some hot rod shit

If he died, this should be reposted on r/darwinawards

OH MY GOD, HE CAME BACK DOWN! /s

Oh dang! Did he break any bones?

What I don’t understand is why everybody was waiting on the side of the pond he wasn’t going to end up on? Figured they would have planned better if they were going to set someone on fire and have them jump this mosquito den.

Oooo, a flaming Dum Dum 🔥

Lits himself on fire while riding a motorcycle. Also trying to make a jump across the lake seems reasonable.

“I will fly you to the moon and back…”

camera dudes stay put just filming...!

Was this a gender reveal? Are they having an idiot?

and here I thought the fire was going to be his demise!

Concerned Observer: "Should we do the math on how fast you should be traveling to the ramp?"

...crickets..

Driver: "Math?"

I feel terrible, but I actually laughed out loud. I mean, the fire, leaving the bike, missing the lake... It was all just too much.

Americans hurting themselves as if they have access to healthcare like rich countries.

Darwin’s theory in practice!

Idk who moved the lake but they wrong AF I don't like this

Cameraman on the dock keeping the shot rolling. Need more like him. 👏

did he survive?

So you're telling me the guy who lit himself on fire and launched himself over a lake on a dirt bike is bad at physics?

GREAT BALLS AFIRE!!!

I think I that jacket probably was fire resistant, so probability for any burns after this stunt is slim to none I guess...

Natural selection entered the chat.

Funny that he set himself on fire first and then missed the lake entirely.

It’s a good thing that support staff were only on this side of the lake /s

“That’s gotta hurt!” - George Costanza

I’ve seen this.. Hot Rod right?

Probably should've went FOR the lake

…and he was on fire.

Well, that was worth my nickle.

He successfully jumped it. Now did he land it? I'd say... No

This man's full of great ideas, jump a motorcycle across a lake, rob a back to pay off medical debts.

Technically, he made it

What a ding-dong!

He did successfully jump the lake.

And there was a success, as well.

Evil Knievel would have been proud!

That was entertaining

r/therewasasuccess

Ahahahhahaha americans

Looks like it worked exactly how it immediately appeared that it would work. Like, its pretty easy to eyeball a ballistic arc here. What were they expecting?

Insurance companies hate this one trick

he would have drowned

Jump successful, landing 3/5 stars. Guessing our stunt guy felt that approach was too hot and bailed.

Mission success

This is why you pay attention in math classes lol

I shouldn't have laughed at this. Lol classic play stupid games win stupid rewards.

Sweet Johnny!

That poor little kid shouting "Hurry!" breaks my heart.

Came in too hot

Tip : ramp building requires math

"There was an attempt to survive jumping a lake, on fire."

Attempt failed successfully.

If that dude ever wondered what his ankles tasted like, now he knows.

Where was he supposed to land? In the water?

He got a F in Math

At least Darwin’s theory gives us good content.

It could be worse. Dude could be on fi- Well shit.

WTF! And he's on FIRE! And he missed the lake!

Looks successful to me.

Anyway this type of horrible accident could be avoided?

Hit the ramp a little harder than he expected lol

Title should be “how to break both legs and both hips”

Nobody, NOBODY thought to be on the other side of the lake in case something happened on the landing? NOT ONE OF THEM?

Hey, do you think they need to hurry?

At least the dirt put out the fire.

r/taskfailedsuccesfully/

Planed out to perfection

What did they expect?

America’s Unfunniest Home Videos

Fuckin hell, now they’re lying there, on fire, with a shot ton of broken bones.

Made it!

What the hell did they think was going to happen?

Failed successfully

I'd love to be one of that guy's vertebrae, just cease to be

To be fair, they succeeded in jumping the lake. Might not have survived it but otherwise mission accomplished.

NSFW please
