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.

When you’re in shock and must react fast, your ability to have “complex” thoughts or perform a complex “maneuver” diminishes drastically.
Stop, drop, and roll is a simple “command” that can be drilled into you and practiced to the point where it’s second-nature, whereas “stop, think about what’s best, think about how to remove your clothes, belt first, then button, then zipper, then push your pants down, then kick them off, no not with your hands you’re going to get burned on your hands…” is something that’s almost impossible.
Also, imagine this scenario:
* Ok class, today we’re going to have fire safety practice. The best thing to do when your clothes are on fire is to remove your clothes as soon as possible.
* So everybody stand up, and STRIP! GO GO GO the timer is running!
