My cousin has recently after watching me spinning in the backyard gotten into spinning, but you see i dont feel i has built up enough skill to attempt it lit, but he insists on doing it, i mean im not one to tell him no your not good enough, but it took me ages before i was really prepared to light up, and its also a problem of i cant stop him, he wont listen, i dont know whether anybody has any possible sentimental one liners i could use to get through to him. i just dont want to see him get hurt

i definately dont think spinning fire poi was as dangerous as i thought it would be. But i did practice for a couple months before lighting mine. And i have hit myself in the face and arm once, and it didnt burn me or anything. dunno what you should tell him... just follow him with a bucket of water

Lol yep, what Spacecow said. keep a damp towel or fire blanket at hand and watch him closely. It should be amusing if nothing else.
