Um, you do realise that nitrogen isn't combustible and does not support combustion, right?!

Nitrogen - N2
Nitrous Oxide - N2O.

Nitrogen is seriously lacking the O ;)

NO2 = nitrogen dioxide
N2O = nitrous oxide (also dinitrogen monoxide, dinitrogen oxide...)

He means that you freeze when all the liquid nitrogen evapourates and then your frozen body smashes into 10000 pieces, those pieces defrost with the fire and burn.... Think T2 with the liquid nitrogen truck and the T1000...

Except that you would have to be emersed in liquid nitrogen for many seconds for your body to freeze like that....
