DELAND, Fla.?A 16-year-old boy suffered burns to a third of his body after his friends doused his clothes with rubbing alcohol and set him on fire, police said.

Nathaniel Bates and two friends, ages 14 and 15, were “play wrestling” Thursday in the woods.

The teens decided the loser of the match had to light a small portion of his body on fire, while the others would videotape everything, said police spokeswoman Barbara West.

The tape showed the boys smacking one another with folding chairs. Because Bates lost, he let his friends pour rubbing alcohol on his shirt and set it on fire.

Police said the teens told them they had done the stunt safely many times before.

The boys ran inside and told the 14-year-old’s grandmother to call 911.

Bates suffered second- and third-degree burns to 36 percent of his body, said EVAC ambulance spokesman Mark O’Keefe.
