I'm sure I would be thinking it. I have seen people free handle Cobras in person and almost walked away. I even said told him he didn't have to do that to show me. It was my first on hands experience with any cobras. I would think it, but as long as you don't endanger a bystander, why is it my right to say you can't do that. I don't agree with the practice at all, but as a religious standpoint, it's not my right to dictate that that practice is wrong.

We all take calculated risks in our lives. Driving a car is a calculated risk. Not too camparable to an unneccesary(my opinion) risk, but still a risk that people take. Working with hots even in a safe manner can be risky, but I have chosen to take that risk.
