yes i do now the dangers I've spent hours doing my home work for this one but hey i want to be a stunt man but poor as i may be i can't pay for the schooling so for now i must learn on my own and do it like the first stunt men some one had to come up with it at some point in time maybe it will help me create my own unique style

You can stand around on fire with a unique style? Or is the style all in the way you scream? Seriously though, I would definitely not recommend trying to do this stunt self taught, I reckon it's about equivalent to opening up an aeroplane door and trying to teach yourself to skydive! Plus, unless you want to be able to do it just so you can amuse yourself running around the garden on fire, I think you'd be hard put to find work for a 'self taught' pyrotechnic stuntman- insurance alone would be a nightmare!
If you can't afford the schooling for now, why don't you write to some stunt/special effects companies and see what they could do for you by way of voluntary work experience or advice on how to progress with your training? You'd get all the crummy little jobs, no doubt, but I bet you'd pick up a hell of a lot of safety stuff for a start, and having experience, however meagre, on your cv can do wonders later on

Yes, the first ones taught themselves, but didn't just start setting themselves on fire, years of research, development and experimentation goes into something that dangerous. Stunt work evolved over the years as people developed new techniques and technology became available, new flame retardant materials etc...
