YES HIS LIFE IS AT RISK!
i just dont think that it should be put in a unicycle video!, he may
have done it before, i have done it for years but i was a fire performer
for a living... there are elements of danger not just from swollowing a
flame, inhalation of fumes, chemical pnewmonia, i suffer from tooth rott
from the ammount of paraffin i have had in my mouth from fire
breathing.
My friend spent 2 months in hospital in a bad way, paralised from the
neck down, another friend who wrote the article i linked up in my first
post who took 2 years of recovery before she was able enough to carry on
with her career... so just two examples.
pete im not getting at you, my last post was for the muppet that thinks
fire is cool!... it is far from it.
I'd have expected more from a community like this! a community that
focuses on safety, we all know the dangers that can occur from
unicycling, well my main hobby is fire and i certainly all to well know
the dangers there, dont just go around and play with fire because it
looks cool or it will impress people, certainly dont put a video on the
net when you can blatantly see there is no safety there and the person
doing it doesn't even know what he is doing!... his technique is all
wrong for a start you can see he is dribbling paraffin all down himself,
does he even know if he is using the correct fuel?, read the MSDS for
the fuel?, what the fuels flash point is? will some one know what to do
if that spilt paraffin on his jumper ignite and he cathes fire?, you
know i could go on for ages here but im not going to, i just hate seeing
this kind of thing, i nearly lost some extremly close friends through
accidents that were not their fault when fire breathing, you have to
remember that it is not just the person doing it, there are the
conditions around too, the environment, all it takes is a slight
breeze!!! thats all it takes.
