Why is it that when you’re clothes catch fire, your supposed to stop drop and roll? I do understand how stop-drop-roll works. But wouldn’t it be better to just remove your clothes? Especially if its clothes that don’t need to go over ur face to be taken off.

Tl;dr getting out of clothes maybr too complicated. Stop drop and roll works fast and is easy to remember and do in emergency situations.
Okay, so I was a dumbass once (well more than once but only this one is relevant)
I had an accident involving fire and gasoline. Stop, drop, roll probably saved me from pretty severe injuries.
Anyway, I was on fire… I was in pain (fires hot y’all) and very panicked. Stop, drop, roll was super simple and my brain was in pure instinct mode. It was winter in Alberta and I had multiple layers on. Thinking how to get them all off was just not something my brain could understand.
I used to think all the times I was taught to stop drop and roll was annoying, but that repetition burned it into my head .
