Learn Pele - Fire Breathing Accident

amazing video, i haven't burned yet but i am certainly going to take every safety precaution before spinning fire

can i just ask why, on a windy day, would you trust Fire Breathing (supposedly 'the most dangerous of all the arts') less than you would trust your poi? i imagine your less likely to breath in your Poi.
and also surely body fire is more dangerous?
and im not trying to be obnoxious or anything above sorry guys

poi is generally closer to your body so it would be more likely to light up then taking a breath...

I have always respected fire when i breathed fire and spun Fire Poi, but now i think about my friends, family, and myself. thanks

You are so beautiful! I know that probably sounds creepy, but I was trying to read up on some fire arts. I found this site and noticed how experienced you seemed. I noticed how caring and kind you were, even to strangers that you have never met. I wanted to find a picture of you, and I finally saw the picture of you firebreathing. Absolutely wonderful, BTW.

I also read your story article thing about the accident. I am absolutely astonished that you had the strength to keep on going after all of that happened. And all of that happened because of a few milliliters of fuel being sucked up your nose. I don't think we realize just how mortal we are.

hey, dumb question sorry

so ok, how or where did you learn to breath fire, iv been wanting to learn for years, how do you start, and where do you go? its been hard to find someone to teach you, and a place to learn, its not like theres collage classes for this unusual talent.. help me??

I've been playing with fire for 2 years now, Fire Breathing is my thing, I can blow a flame 18 ft high(measured from the ground up). Lately I've been considering on giving up Fire Breathing. I've been asked is it worth the risk and slowly the answer creeps into my head: NO, it's not worth it.
I am sorry for what happened to Pele, something similar happened to me also when in a show, after a fire breath, I inhaled powerfully through the mouth and inhaled fuel. I had to finish my show but I could hardly breathe. Thankfully I didn't have the complications Pele experienced but I was damn close. That was my worst experience with Fire Breathing, the ones where my beard catches on fire don't even come close to this one.
I thought I should share this for all daredevils to see, maybe they will think twice before getting so excited about Fire Breathing.
Best of luck also to the ones that still do it, may the wind always favor you and may you never have to go through what Pele went through.

Hi Pele,

Just watched your interview here fir the first time. I admire your strength and willpower to go through all of what you described, not just the recovery from your accident but everything else too.

You are amazing!

*gigantic hug*
