Omg. When she crawled up into a ball and she gave up...
Some random comments on Reddit to save everyone questions:

She must have been pouring the oil near an open flame. The flame ignited the vapors inside the bottle, which caused that gas to expand rapidly and the oil to shoot out of the bottle like a shaken can of soda. Hence the flame thrower effect.
[...] she ****ed up by trying to refuel an already lit oil cooker. She should have brought out a fresh, fully topped-off cooker and lit it instead, taking the exhausted one to the back and letting it cool before refueling.

Paramedic here. I'm almost certain this resulted in third degree burns for her from the chest up. She's very likely to die from infection in the hospital and if she makes it out she'll be horribly scarred for life.

This is the thing. It's not the burn a that kills you its the lack of protection against infection later. With burn a like this the victims are usually isolated for weeks to avoid infection but it's not always enough.
The pain she will experience in the hospital will be almost as bad as when she was being burned. I work in the lab in a hospital with a large burn unit and it's agonizing watching them go through it.
I thought the boyfriend ran away, but after watching the video for the second time, it looks like the boyfriend and waitress both got burned, that's why they ran so fast. Good to know the boyfriend came back to help, though
