Honestly this sounds so outlandish that it makes me skeptical of the whole thing.

They didn't stop after the first guy died? Or the tenth? Guy #11 just looked at the pile of corpses and was like, hell yeah I'm gonna try next?

And where's the video? Terrorist groups love propaganda footage, if they were doing motorcycle stunts like Evel Knievel they'd be bragging about it everywhere.

If they were wary of dying, they wouldn't be in the business of terrorism in the first place. Also, they almost certainly believe in a better afterlife. Reminds of the old animated short: Saga of Bjorn[1].

Surely even terrorists want to die for a cause, not during practice.

Yeah this didn't happen. If someone is cracy enough to practice with holes filled with glass on fire why trust them at all about being cracy in the first place?

where'd they get so much broken glass that it would fill a hole anyway? They just have that much glass on hand?

		Erm, if you have 18 guys to spend on training, you also have some empty bottles or access to a place where there are more empty bottles. Whether crazy people are actually crazy enough to literally do what a LLM gave them as a action sequence from movie inspiration - I have no idea. But I doubt it here.

To be fair, guy #11 was a lot better at prompting

Have you never seen a kung-fu movie? Of course that's what happens when a large group attack a superior solitary opponent.

Honestly, Boko Haram is in general just bad at propaganda and mostly confines said propaganda to Nigeria.
