Sincerely hope the chap makes a full recovery.
Thats not going to happen with 60% burns
Simon Weston was less than that.
I have reread my posts on the burns subject an I seem to be quite harsh.
I have come to the conclusion that if I do start flying avgas machines again in any amount of hours I will be getting some fire retardant clothes for the purpose. The old Instructors uniform of a pair of primark chinos and cheap white shirt really does absouletly nothing for you and in the case of the cheap white shirt will proberly make matters worse when it melts into your skin. Something which I have experence with when I brushed up against a pitot tube while doing a first flight while it was on, resulting in a 2" by 3" second degree burn on my shoulder which all the skin got ripped off removing my shirt.
