Sorry to hear that
Remember your fire safety, to always have a spotter, and try and learn from your mistake, so it wont happen again
Don't let it put you off either... keep at it

I havnt burned myself yet, all ive done is singe hairs. Been doing it for hmmm *thinks*...7 months maybe? Then again I dont do wraps so maybe thats why.
I have to spin in my short sleeved t-shirt, its the only one of two thats black, so its the only one that 'goes with fire' lol

Get an old Levi and a nice old long sleeved tie die'd t-shirt, works like a charm.
Now there is another problem, how to keep my hair from going up in flamez

If you wear long clothes, surely they're going to set alight and burn your whole body if hit, rather than burning one small patch on your skin, but if ravehead is right, DO NOT wear nylon, it melts to your skin. Painful.

You could try a bandana or a hat.

well take my advice, wearing sports gear (chav styleee) is NOT fire protection for your skin
hats are good hoodies are better

hum.... well hoodies arent the best because you cant see to your left or right.
Even if you have the hood down you can still hit it. Thats why i use a bandana. And it looks good on me.

Leather won't burn unless you REALLY try hard. For that matter, jeans don't really burn, either, unless you REALLY try hard.
DO NOT WET YOUR CLOTHES AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. Dry cotton does not transmit heat. Wet cotton does.

Written by: Doc LightningThe guy's right. And there is also the fact that the moisture in the cotton will turn to steam - and steam causes more severe damage than flames or boiling liquid.
