Firebreathing, IMO, is never truly safe. There is always a level of incidents that can occur.
If you get that free safety video from Home of Poi and watch it, you'll hear about the accident that pela (sp?) had, where there was no wind and just as she breathed, the wind kicked it right in her face. She inhaled fire and burnt out her lungs. Spent several months in the hospital, yada yada etc

I certainly don't say: remove all informations.

I fully side AmaraO when she says something like: If someone is interested in firebreathing, point out the risks and dangers involved and direct him to a responsible individual in his area so he can receive (1on1) tuition.

Defintely cool, I love what he does with the short blast and want to start that myself. Can I be a quick voice of reason here though? Several things the guy did were unsafe and contradict what I was taught. The most scary and the one I just gotta say something about involved using what appeared to be an audience member, when he blew one through their legs. That made me wince. It wouldn't take but a few audience members getting killed or injured for fire breathing to be on the cover of USA today, or Fox news screaming about how dangerous it is. From there it is a hop skip and and a juggle to having the legislature step in with a ban on public performances of fire breathing. I hope the guy was a fellow performer who pretended to be an audience member. Not trying to some across as a Mom here, but please don't involve the audience in fire breathing tricks for all our sakes.

Fire Eating and particularly Fire-Breathing is possibly the most dangerous and potentially injurious art to be found in circus, theatre and street performing. Experimenting without knowledge may be fatal and the first steps should be taken ONLY in the presence of an experienced person who fully understands the dangers.

Fire breathing. A beautiful art that can cause death from a rouge breeze. Fire breathers are artists- their blood, sweat, and tears go into making every performance their best, or they could literally go up in flames from one mistake. Primarily practiced years ago, it still pops up in the odd festival or carnival, and always met with curiosity. Understanding fire breathing is difficult, but doable. Attempting to breathe fire yourself without professional guidance is never to be attempted under any circumstances, no matter how many articles you've read or how knowledgeable you feel you are.

If this sounds like fun to you despite the dangers, find a professional and take lessons. Do not even consider a wadded up newspaper and mouthful of gasoline. It's dangerous, deadly and reckless to others. It's incredibly ignorant to do, and consider if it's worth a burned face for life. Fire breathing is the most dangerous of the fire arts, and even many professional fire handlers refrain from doing it.

# If you want to know more, talk to a professional. They won't always tell you how to do it yourself, since it is so very dangerous, but they will normally tell you general information and how much training they went through.
# If you really want to do fire breathing and are taking lessons, start with something less dangerous, don't expect to just start breathing flames immediately. Fire juggling, fire eating and fire dancing are all less dangerous and no less impressive than fire breathing.

Jugglers, magicians, acrobats and sideshow performers have something in common -- they make astounding or difficult tricks look very easy. Fire breathers, who often specialize in one of these forms of entertainment, amaze people because they seem to exhale a plume of fire as though it were as easy as taking a breath.
But fire breathing is the most dangerous of all the fire arts. People who breathe fire professionally have to go to great lengths to keep themselves and their audiences safe. And since the process involves fire and flammable, toxic fuel, fire breathing accidents can be deadly.

Fire Eating and Fire Breathing are dangerous,... Much more so than playing with regular fire toys.
We do not advocate anyone try fire breathing or fire eating except after intense research and consideration. We recommend that you first read everything you can lay your hands on and then talk to experienced fire breathers / fire eaters.
Unlike other fire play, breathing fire and eating fire can have significant long term health risks. Your mouth is a very porous membrane, and if you do not use the proper tools, fuels and techniques you are risking your health.
