This may fall under the category of 'you just never know', a professional fire-eater from Russia received burns to his entire face because he burped in the middle of a performance.

Fire-eaters use something called paraffin to create fire.  When this guy burped, he sprayed paraffin out of his mouth and his torch set it on fire.  His name is IIya Golubev and he is currently in the hospital recovering.
