the full video was a publicity stunt by the royal marines i dont know if you noticed people in the fire support group with no helmets on and people in the assault grop with no helmets on.
the guy on fire threw a grenade into a room with a gas bottle in it and was burnt pretty badly.

Royal Marines please - even I capitalise Para Reg ;)

But yes, it was put on for Sky News. The guy involved spent a fair bit of time at Selly Oak before a med discharge. Fing media...
