Facts Check Analysis:

There is an actual compound called fluorosulfuric acid, HSO3F as mentioned by @andselisk. It is one of the strongest acid known. It hydrolyzes slowly to sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid. It is highly toxic and corrosive in nature. If it comes in contact with human skin, it will eat your skin right away leaving no trace and so it will help you to disappear happily. Anyway, jokes aside, fluorosulfuric acid disappearing people is absolute nonsense. Don't try any experiment with fluorosulfuric acid. It is highly toxic and I highly recommend to stay away from it.

The video has been produced to look like the man has vanished from the picture, soon after  the gas came out is not true. There is no accident in the picture due to the so called sulfuric hydrofluoric acid .
