Statistics indicate that most deaths from this type of play occure in males that are doing it alone without the help of a second party to monitor them.

In some very rare cases it may trigger a carotid sinus reflex and result in death, but Doctors havent gathered enough information as of yet to support or refute this claim.
Fair enough and I wasn't trying to scare people off with my post. I do happen to have known someone who became one of those statistics, however, so maybe I take it more seriously than others.

We can agree, though, that doing some homework and having some experience helps to make sure it is being "done in a safe manner"?
