Back in April we shared a story about how a teen was left with burns that covered 80 percent of his body after participating in yet another viral challenge. 

Mason Dark,16, was creating a makeshift torch with his friends by using a spray paint can and a lighter, which caused an explosion and caused the teen to be covered in flames. According to WRAL, his mother, Holli Dark, her son soothed his burns by jumping into the nearest river.

However, both actions worsened his condition, as he suffered third-degree burns after ripping off his shirt and running the risk of infection after jumping into the river. He was rushed to the UNC Burn Center after sustaining burns that covered 76 percent of his body and has undergone multiple surgeries to get skin grafts.

His mother said the teen also played football and track before the unfortunate incident, and he is expected to spend six months at the burn center.

“My son Mason, needs your prayers. 75% of his body is burned. The accident occurred the afternoon of Sunday, April 23, 2023. He jumped into a river to extinguish the flames. The risk of infection from the river water is high, on top of having 2nd and 3rd degree burns. We are thankful to be at the UNC Burn Center in Chapel Hill. It is one of the top in the nation. Mason has a long road ahead of him. Please pray for his recovery. He is in an incredible amount of pain and is sedated. The first of many surgeries will be Wednesday, April 26. I am asking for prayers for the family, Holli, Julian and brother Austi

n (13) and any help with their needs: medical bills, gas, food, and housing during this time. Both Holli and Julian are self-employed and will try and balance some amount of work.”
