Read: This Video of a Gator Eating Another Gator Is Metal as HellTrina Wilson, like so many of us before her, dreamed of one day donning a mermaid's tail and breathing some fire on a stage. In February, to make that dream a reality, she trained with some professionals to learn tricks of the flame-throated trade. Last Sunday, trained and ready, she took to the stage for her first performance at Wolf's Museum of Mystery in San Augustine, Florida. It did not go well.Now a video of her unfortunate mishap, posted to the museum's Facebook page, is making the rounds. In it, Wilson sits in a tank of water, as mermaids do. She blows some fuel toward a lit torch (as mermaids don't normally do), which explodes into an impressive fireball. But a tiny bit of fire remains, right around Wilson's mouth. Then it quickly ignites, consuming her entire face in a flash before she wisely submerges herself in the tank, putting out the blaze. (Don't worry, she's fine.)Mason then went to Facebook to attempt to explain what the sensation of setting your head on fire is like. "When your face catches on fire," she wrote, "you literally see nothing but flames." Let this be a lesson to all would-be fire-breathing mermaids out there.Mason places the blame squarely on her own shoulders, admitting she used the wrong kind of fuel for the stunt, which required lamp fuel instead of the campfire fuel she went with. Still, Mason marches into the future undeterred."I clearly made a mistake doing something I love and will continue to practice and learn until the day that I die," she wrote on her Facebook wall.
