This is not an actual representation fart ignition.
“Back pressure from pants density diffuses gas so flame spread is random. Depending on the thread weight and density of the pants, the methane also diffuses by the path of least resistance, such as pants cuffs or a partially buttoned fly.” (EDSU 1939 Monograph 28775 “The Actual Physics of Intestinal Gas Ignition”, page 326, paragraph 4)
Guess that’s why it wasn’t recommended
You get better results if you light it closer to the bottom.
