The only thing I can think of is that there was some sort of event where other people were being willingly set on fire. Like if were some sort of performance that went wrong, I could see there being a reasonable defense that the performer didn’t know she didn’t want to participate.
Huh…I’m trying to think of what legal defense you could give to PROVE you didn’t want to be set on fire.
I can’t think of one. What do you say that proves it? Which means I get how that headline happened, but also…how did THAT headline happen???

It could also be a kink thing.
Most of the time when weird questions like that involving consent come up, I assume it probably involved some kind of sex thing.
my lay person understanding of the law is that in situations like these you don’t need to prove what should be so overwhelmingly self-evident
there’s probably some Latin phrase for it a lawyer would just know but when a thing is so far away from a gray area of reasonableness you’re fine
you shouldn’t need hard evidence, people as a rule don’t like to set themselves on fire
