As a professional I'm following my training and on a area I have no knowledge on I'm asking what to look for on a risk assmt for fire walking?
I'm possibly up for the walk for the stoke association and to prove safety professionals don't ban every thing. But feel it would be remiss of myself if I haven't checked everything out.
I have a copy of the organisers assmt for viewing, contact me for the pdf assmt and to comment on it.
All help appreciated.

Badger,
I did a fire walk back in March / April. As Chair of the local branch got some stick.
However we were given an excellent induction / talk through of the event. There were plenty of first aid facilities available (not in the end required) and experienced organisers at hand.
Felt no pain during the actual walk (x4) but felt the cold stepping back onto the wet grass.
Hope this helps, and best of luck.
See page 34 of May's SHP

Just noticed Barrie hasn't been in touch today.
Can anyone smell burning adrenaline?

Still alive and walking. Have re-read the risk assmt and something at the back of my mind is slowly ringing a warning bell that something isn't right. So may opt for charity #2 and hike up Mt. Snowdon for the Prostate Cancer Charity. The RA is available should anyone wish to view it and tell me I'm being overly cautious.

If you look at the raw statistics - more people are injured hiking up Snowdon than Fire Walking:-)
But then one cabn do a lot of things with statisitics when correctly(incorrectly) used:-)
