why stop-drop-roll over removing clothes

927 views

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.

It’s MUCH quicker to drop to the ground and smother the lit areas by rolling onto them, than to – while panicking and in pain – try to individually remove clothes that are on fire. Plus it’s safer. If the t shirt you are wearing catches fire, are you gonna quickly and calmly lift it *over your face and hair* without injuring those areas? Remove your shoes and socks first if your pants catch?
