I think David at fireninja speaks also about the dangers of fire whips.

quote:The safer you are the safer you are, is my own take. Proficiency quite often leads to comlplacency, and it is complacency that is more dangerous to fire performers than anything else.
i.e. the better you are the safer you are.

quote:I believe that a more experienced fire performer has the physical skills and abilities to be a safe performer. Lesser skilled performers are still developing these skills -- they do not have as much physical control over their implements.
With all of these arts the danger is inversely related to ones skill level -- i.e. the better you are the safer you are. But keep in mind that no matter how good you are there is still danger.
quote:I agree that a mental state of complacency is incredibly dangerous to a fire performer. A skilled fire performer should be especially cognizant of this.
Proficiency quite often leads to comlplacency, and it is complacency that is more dangerous to fire performers than anything else.
quote:The more time one spends in and around fire performance and fire performers, the more times one sees horrific accidents and life threatening f*ckups. I have smothered enough burning hair, treated enough serious burns, and been on enough frantic trips to the emergency room to have never lost a healthy regard for the dangers that come of doing what we do. Every time I light up I know that I am risking my well being (This is especially true with a firewhip).
Someone who is not yet as skilled (and no, im not getting in the who is skilled and who isn't arguement) as another is more likely to have more healthy regard for the fire, and to have appropriate measures at hand.
quote:I only differ in thinking that due to their technical skills, a more advanced performer should be safer yet, as they have more refined physical control of their devices.
With safety, it's all about attitude, not skill. It's also about being aware that at any point, something may go wrong and having as many ways of dealing with it on hand and practiced as possible.
It's like when you can't remember something you get.... short term.... kidney failure, that's gotta be it, something wrong with your kidneys...
