Who's to blame?
A frat buddy and I were at a party last week and a bunch of us started talking about the Lakers getting swept. I bet my friend that if the Lakers got swept he would have to eat 5 really hot peppers and I'd have to eat them if they didn't. Well the Lakers lost and so did my friend.
My question is, I've heard these are REALLY hot and what if he gets sick? We ordered the peppers a couple days ago and they should be here tomorrow. I'm worried that if something happens and he gets sick from it, am I responsible because I bought them? Could our chapter be responsible because he's going to eat them in front of everyone here on the property?
Not sure what to do... he's pretty determined and the more I read about these peppers the more scared I get that something could happen to him. Everyone in the house has setup a big event to watch him eat these things... I don't know... not sure what to do.
Any advice??? Please help!

The silly things that young adults trouble themselves with.
If you're this darn concerned, don't do it. Find some other way to match the bet. Something light hearted and harmless. Duh.

Like most other frat ailments, he will probably just barf and feel immediately better.

Or he could end up in the hospital or die.
It's one of those things that could turn out harmless or could turn out dangerous. You sometimes don't know until it happens. If the OP is spending so much time thinking about the potential outcome, it's a good idea to not do it. Afterall, it is just for a Lakers bet. Save the hot peppers for fraternity pledgeship. That's the only time such potential dangers and struggles should be attempted. Hahaha...joking...uh huh.

What kind of peppers? Anything less than Ghost Peppers, I say grow a pair and eat them. Anything more, and think about your buddy's ability to eat hot stuff. If he can't handle many hot wings, jalapeños, or something equivalent, might want to downgrade the pepper, and save them for another bet.

Tell him to have some milk handy. It will cut down on the heat from the peppers.

You could coat his mouth, esophagus and stomach with wax...
Or give him something other than the ghost chili, but tell him it's a ghost chili (i'm assuming you ordered ghost chili). Nice thing about peppers is that some of them look the same but taste very different.
Oh, and don't touch any other body parts after touching the peppers. Wash your hands first, as you can burn your eyes, skin, and other sensitive areas.

Aye, gringos.  
ETA: Random factoid: As of 2/25/11 the Naga Viper now holds the title of World's Hottest pepper and is literally over 1000x spicier than a jalepeño.
ETAA: Coming from someone who ate 9 chipotles, seeds and all, on a dare, they're much hotter on the way back up. That's two things you could have lived without knowing.

We had what seemed like radioactive habanero plants last year, the peppers were big and we produced over 400. Hubby cut and preserved them all. He didn't always wash his hands well. If you think getting pepper juice in the eye hurts, try getting it... elsewhere.

Your parents are to blame for birthing two idiots.
Just kidding. Swapping out for less, uh, aggressive peppers might be a good idea if you're *that* worried about it. Anyone I know who's done something as hot as a ghost pepper has only been able to handle one. Also, yes, wash your hands before touching ANYTHING. ANYTHING AT ALL. BOTH OF YOU (if you touch the peppers).
Even jalepeños can burn if you don't wash your hands properly.
Also, random recipe suggestion of the day: Put jalepeños on pizza. Just fucking do it, OK?

Or cucumber yogurt. Sounds nasty, but it really helps with the heat.

I like jalapeno slices on pimento cheese sandwiches.

Or chocolate, that helps with heat. I go for the chocolate milk, personally.
