- Burned feet leave you completely unable to walk or stand; burned hands, while devastating, still leave you mobile and able to escape.
- Extinguishing flames on your hands is straightforward — submerge or smother them; putting out a foot fire while standing is far harder to manage.
- Losing the ability to bear weight and move independently affects every physical moment of life more fundamentally than losing hand dexterity.
