AUGUSTA, GA - A Georgia man was in critical condition after letting his friends set his head on fire and the whole thing was caught on camera.

CNN reports that 36-year-old William Bonner was at an Augusta bar last Thursday with friends where surveillance video shows people flicking lighters next to his head.

Suddenly you can see his head become engulfed in flames.

Investigators told local news station WJBF that before lighting the fire, friends doused Bonner's head with rum.

WJBF reports that Bonner suffered second-degree burns on his face and head.

He told the news station he doesn't remember what happened.

He says he hopes no one else does something, "as stupid as this."

The Richmond County Sheriff's Office says it doesn't plan to file any charges in the case.
