I heard of some people who spin balls of fire from the ends of cahins that's nuts! It could wrap arround your head lock on to itself and they could fall into the crowd of a bucket of gass.
quote:Those -do- hurt. ::sniffs:: I almost fractured a rib with my practice poi because I started out using ones that were about three times heavier than they probably should have been... That hurt. It still hurts sometimes, actually, and that was a number of months ago... but man.. you get hit with the electroglo or the glowsticks, especially if you're wet? Holy Unamed Ones... I don't mind a little pain, but the welts those "safe" little bastards leave are insane. Hell, people should be warning about the dangers of spinning glowsticks instead of aspirating fire!
Not to mention those crazys who spin little lights in the dark....I mean...in the dark you could hit yourself in the head. That would really hurt.

quote:This is called a blowback and is one of the most common "side effects" to fire breathing. There are alot of variations on how to get blowbacks, this is one. Someday if I am so inclined I will tell the story of how I had to hit the ground to sort of "duck" beneath a blowback. Alot of craziness can happen.

1: when doing the buzzsaw I breathed fire, but because the poi keep passing in front of your face, it lit the source again and it backfired on my lip.
now I was lucky. too many people scare at that point, cough or get hickups and will inhale the flame and thus burning your complete lungs!!!
quote:Please tell me you did not just say this!!!
2: and haven't seen this noted before...
the parafin is REALLY BAD for your health. not only if swallowed (a friend of mine was sick for 4 days after a big swallow), but the vapor of the parafin will damage your lungs badly. so even when things don't get "wrong", you still inhale the fumes... in india (where fire breathing is still quite common) a lot of people die because of this every year.
