Dieter Lights Himself on Fire

The show was broadcast live from Cleveland today. I had a feeling there might be a special Dare Dieter scheduled for their return. I was right. A Cleveland listener wrote in to say they had seen a guy light himself on fire and jump off Chagrin falls. He said it was the coolest thing he had ever seen and wanted Dieter to light himself on fire and jump into water. Dieter seemed a bit hesitant but after meeting the stunt man he would be working with (who has the Guinness World Record for longest burn without oxygen) he accepted the dare.

Rover and Dieter then drove to a “secure” location, although there were already people there when they got there. Duji was left alone in the studio. Rover broadcast over his cell phone as Dieter was prepared for ignition. They whole process took about half an hour. They put his suit on, which was three to four layers, as well as a mixture of fireproof gel. After Ted (the stuntman) asked Dieter one more time if he was sure he wanted to go through with the dare, they began to put the fuel on him. Rover moved back at this point but started to get nervous because they were putting so much fuel on him. He was afraid Dieter was going to explode. With about 3 minutes left in the show, they lit Dieter on fire. He began to walk towards Rover and the crowd and then jumped into the water. The dive team that was set up got him out of the water and on to a boat. Dieter gave Rover a thumbs up before being taken away. I can’t wait to see the video.
