Gamer accidentally sets herself on fire during livestream

Maybe don't flick a lighter that close to your head.

We love a good live stream fail, even if the situation does get a bit ~hairy~.

While live streaming herself playing League of Legends, Twitch user AnaPlaying found herself in a bit of a pickle after casually playing with a lighter a little too close to her head.

As she casually flicks the lighter while talking to her followers, she accidentally lights her hair on fire and doesn't notice for a few good seconds. When she does notice, Ana quickly pats her head free of flames. Although she seems pretty shocked by her burning hair, she doesn't look hurt -- she laughs off the fact that she lit her head on fire in front of a bunch of people.

Life, like a video game, is unpredictable.
