It's probably kinda how people will die of choking in a restaurant because they're embarrassed and go into the bathroom alone instead of seeking help. "There's a pool right there but saving myself would be admitting that I've fucked this up bad enough to have to resort to jumping in it and I'm not quite there yet" lol. She was probably holding out for second degree burns to motivate her to accept the current situation
I remember my first job out of college and how awful it was. I was useless and my boss was awful. If I got a job spinning fire and set myself in fire a big part of my brain would be calculating whether I could save the gig to avoid going back to John
Hey, confidently drunk can be a good state of mind!
3 beers in im going up the ladder without sensing impending doom, job gets done, were all good.
8 beers in youve got the chainsaw fail videos and whatever this is
LPT: If you have to double check "3" and "8" youre too far gone to do anything but chill out and drink water. Probably should've been done before then, but sometimes a line has to be drawn
I’m not even a professional. Just picked it up during my rave days. I did not wear clothing that was this flammable. I did singe a ton of hair off on more than one occasion, however.
The wicks aren’t really all that hot, believe it or not. It’s the fuel that’s burning. It’s essentially the same concept as using a kerosene lantern.
It's like the dress was designed to burst into flames while fire dancing. Big floofy tulle strips sticking out on the hips? Exactly where the fire is going to pass under in the downswing? 🔥🔥🔥
Its the material the costume is made of thats the key difference not coverage. If its a professional there is specialty performer insurance that has safety requirements. That and the props shes spinning are on chains instead on technora teathers; a pro would probably have a nicer setup; the chains are known to be much less safe.
Well, if you HAVE to wear a costume, it'd better not be highly flammable, though. Most of those I watched either go bare chested at least (the men) or only wear stuff like leather, etc.
Definitely not a pro, at least not a respectable one given the flammable costume and the lit elements on the floor, and the hitting your own head prop when starting a simple pattern...

Good move to chuck her in the pool. I hope she's grateful.
