The only thing you have to look out for with those airisol flamethrowers is backdraft when the flame gets sucked into the can, so if your spraying it and the flame suddenly dissapears, drop the can and run away as fast as possible.
Also avoid pointing the can at angles (as in straight up) as this increases the chance of that.
Heh, one of my friends once had a little box full of matches. He held it close to his face and lit up one match. As he set the box on fire, all the matches started up and.... From what I could see in that second, a big flame came out and burned his forehead.
He then turned to me the first thing was: "Dude, do I still have my eyebrows?!"
I couldn't stop laughing. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well since were into pyromania I'll give a suggestion for a cool little trick, take one of them noise making fireworks that spits out different colored flames and put it in an empty soda can, and watch as the can is transformed into a rocket propelled can of aluminium insanity.
For even crazier effects use more than one can and tie the tabs together with string or rope, my personal record is 13 empty cans of doctor pepper flying around a driveway for 2 minutes.
Edit: as a dr. I must include a warning.
/warning/ may cause serious harm if fuses are lit improperly, keep an appropriate distance from the aluminum insanity at all times, do not touch the cans for at least 10 minutes afterwards/warning/

<b>1: The popcorn incident</b> The first time I made instant popcorn, I checked the instructions which said something to the effect of "Microwave for X minutes, when you hear the sound of kernels popping dying away then take it out." I interpreted this as "Just microwave it for X minutes, it doesn't really matter", because I wanted to go do something in the meantime (I don't remember what).
It started burning <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
No fire that I can remember, but lots and lots of smoke. I grabbed the bag out of the microwave (with smoke pouring out of it) and held it under the tap for a bit. The result was a kitchen full of smoke, and drenched blackened popcorn. Next stupid thing - I tried some of it. It wasn't very nice.
<b>2: Weet-bix</b> What do you do if you're trying to have Weet-bix for breakfast, you take out two or three thingies of the stuff and stick them in a bowl, crush them up, and then discover you're our of milk? If you're me, you try water instead. Suffice to say that water is <i>not</i> a good replacement.
<b>3: The Flat Tire</b> This one's quite recent. My car hasn't completely recovered. I was driving home from an anime thingy with my sister at about 11:30pm (I'm a P plater, btw) and I'm just entering the freeway when there's this banging noise, the sound of the car moving gets really loud and rough, and the wheel starts fighting me. I don't realise what's happened. I thought maybe something had broken partially, and was hanging on just enough to work. So anyway, the car's fighting me, but I'm winning. And I can't seem to get the speed over 55 kph.
I pulled over into the emergency stop lane, but it didn't occur to me to get out and have a look (I still hadn't worked out that it was a flat tire yet). I thought about what to do, and I figured that no matter how much the car was fighting me, we had to get home somehow and damned if the car itself was going to try to stop me. I figured maybe whatever was wrong might have slipped back into place or whatever, since the car was stopped.
So I got back on to the freeway, and the evil noise started up again. I kept going for a bit, still couldn't get the speed over 55 kph (the limit was 80, btw). I noticed out the corner of my eye something rolling away from the car (it turned out to be the hubcap). Finally, I realised that it was a flat tire and pulled over again to have a look.
It was shredded. All around the wheel, on the body of the car, were black marks. You know, the kind that you get when you kick a wall with black shoes. The hubcap was gone. Also, my side indicator light had been taken out by the flailing pieces of rubber.
I had a spare tire, I didn't know if I had a jack or not, and I wasn't going to try to change it myself (I didn't want to screw anything up any more than I already had, and I was pretty shaken). I called my mum, who called the RAC. So then we were sitting in the car for about fifteen minutes waiting for the RAC guy to turn up. When he did, he took one look at the tire and said "s***!". Later on, the mechanic we got to fix the indicator light (and a few other things) said he'd never seen a tire so bad. I'd include a picture, but it's in the boot of my car which is currently at said mechanic's.

I lied down in the back of a friends truck. Silly how? She decided to go 60KPH over a speedbump for fun.
Also avoid pointing the can at angles (as in straight up) as this increases the chance of that.
