A post shared by Gabe (@partytillimpact)

Something tells us this wasn’t the way things were supposed to go down for Gabe, who goes by partytillimpact on Instagram. Gabe tries to pull a Jamie O’Brien. Well, maybe not the “set yourself on fire” part, but the impactful pyrotechnics part. Instead ol’ Gabe nearly burns himself alive 3,000 feet off the deck. Not ideal.

“A short circuit in the wet reserve caused it to go off before I hit the trigger,” he wrote. “From the crowd’s view it looked brilliant, apparently. My view was a bit more hectic. This is why I don’t play with fire anymore.”

Or “wet reserves” that short circuit. Dangerous either way. Check out the spare chute on fire behind him.
