A man is in 'critical condition' after running straight into a wall of flames at the close of the Burning Man festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert
Around 70,000 revelers had gathered to witness the burning of a giant effigy when the man broke through, evaded security, and ran directly into the flames suffering terrible burns.
Shocked on-lookers watched as emergency services dragged him out of the fire before he was air lifted to a nearby burns unit for treatment.
Authorities told RadarOnline.com that he was in a 'critical condition' following the horrific incident on Saturday night.
The festival issued a statement through its website:
"At approximately 10.30pm Saturday evening, a male participant at the annual Burning Man event in Northern Nevada broke through a safety perimeter and into a fire. Black Rock City fire personnel rescued him from the fire.
