From how I remember things, when you watch from the front, it seems like it's only on fire for a second before everyone jumps in. I don't think anyone was watching from the back, where you can see that is was on fire for some time. That might have been just a camera they have running in the back at all time untended. So maybe the reaction time was right and it was unfortunate that the fire really started cooking down low on the back of this head.
