The stuff burns up pretty fast, and the flames just disappear...even if you were to do it directly on the garage door, it wouldn't be able to heat up the wood long enough to light it on fire before going out itself.

That's not the danger. The danger is the possibility of flashback, if the propelling force isn't enough - the flames will burn back into the gun, and the alcohol will burn nearly instantaneously, exploding the gun and that guy's arms.

F*cking idiot.

I want to watch THAT VIDEO

and this is old and has been posted before

F*cking idiot.

If I'm recalling the same flamethrower (didn't see the vid), it has a one-way valve built into it to prevent that type of thing.

Though in an ironic turn off events, if I found out about my kids doing something like that I wouldn't beat them. I would test it out of his or her favorite toys.

If my parents did that to me I'd be testing it out on their bed...

how old are you people...

The comedic elements are obviously lost on you. Honestly I would take the thing away and find a suitable punishment for the child. I would hope my kids are smart enough to avoid putting themselves up for darwin awards.
