Ok just a couple of points.
1. Yes person number 2 COULD be in a bad situation . If they walked up to someone they DIDN'T KNOW OR HAVE SEEN THEM PLAY AND ARE NOT IN A PUBLIC PLACE and was like " hey blindfold me , yada yada"
Okay, so? This does not have anything to do with your original position that I commented on. It only serves to distract from the original point. I commented on what you originally said:
alawey wrote:

To which I pointed out that this can be said about anything within BDSM, and hypnosis and mind fucks hold no additional or increased danger to a participant of those things, and you have no justification to single out mind fucks and hypnosis as if they are inherently more dangerous . THEY ARE NOT MORE DANGEROUS. In fact, they are less dangerous for all the reasons that I have stated repeatedly.
Here, let me show you exactly what I mean -
"But let me say that BONDAGE AND FLOGGING and such are dangerous to me and other because of the fact there seems to be to many that attempt this with not knowledge of how to do this safety or without any real care of the subs well being".
Not only is this statement as correct as the statement you made which I commented on, but as I stated before, for the reasons that I stated previously, hypnosis is less dangerous than allowing someone to restrain and flog you. Once restrained you have NO CONTROL over what the other person does to you. While participating in hypnosis you are awake, conscious, you hear everything going on around you, and you are under your own control. You have the ability to open your eyes and end a hypnosis session at any time if you start to get the feeling that the one who is hypnotizing you is crossing some line you don't approve of.
In addition, your modification of the original discussion to include being in a dungeon with others around applies the same in regards to hypnosis, and does nothing to support your original position. It only serves to distract from the original subject under discussion.

2. I m becoming very confused by how you seem to be going back and forth all wishy washy are whether this is dangerous or not. You state in the thread it is basically safe. Yet on another thread you warned someone to be careful . Do not believe for one moment that you won't or can't find yourself involved with things that you really have no desire to be involved with when it comes to hypnosis. The subconscious mind is very complex, and there are ways to manipulate it without your conscious agreement"

You have taken this quote out of context, to make it seem as if I am saying something that I am not saying, and it seems like you are once again doing so because you are unable to support your original position on the subject.
For those reading this who don't want to be bothered by having to go look up the thread that the quote was taken from let me just say this. What has been left out is that I made this statement in regards to someone asking about hypnosis videos, and I also suggested that they read the comments on a particular video to get a feeling for what others think about it prior to listening to it on their own. It is certainly obvious to me, and should be to you, that unless you read what others say about the video there is no way to know whether the content of the video can be trusted.
That being said, all that I said above about hypnosis still applies to listening to a video, as well as a live hypnosis session. That being you are awake, conscious, you hear everything going on around you, and you are under your own control. You have the ability to open your eyes and end a hypnosis session at any time if you start to get the feeling that the one who is hypnotizing you is crossing some line you don't approve of.
I didn't think this needed to be said, but obviously if you do not use the ability you have to open your eyes and end the session when something doesn't seem right, whether in a live hypnosis session, or while listening to a video, then undesirable effects may occur. Just like if you are in a bondage scene being flogged and you don't bother to use your safe word when things are getting too intense for you.
So, going back to your original statement, in an attempt to stay on the topic of our original discussion you wrote:

To which I stated that in fact this applies to everything within BDSM, and you have no justification to set apart mind fucks and hypnosis as if they are more dangerous.
In addition hypnosis is actually safer than a typical BDSM bondage encounter because you are awake, conscious, you hear everything going on around you, you are under your own control when being hypnotized. You have the ability to open your eyes and end a hypnosis session at any time if you start to get the feeling that the one who is hypnotizing you is crossing some line you don't approve of.
When restrained you do not have the same ability to put an end to a session if the one you are participating with starts getting carried away. You can only hope that they stop if you use your safe word, but it is not guaranteed.
I NEVER ONCE stated that hypnosis was not something to be cautious about. Only that setting it and mind fucks apart from other BDSM activities, as if mind fucks and hypnosis were more dangerous in not justified.
If you can stay on the point of yours that I originally commented on, and tell me why you feel that mind fucks and hypnosis should be held apart from other BDSM activities, as if they are more risky or more dangerous than a wide variety of other BDSM activities, without bringing in other things that only serve to try to distract from my original comment, I would love to hear your opinion and what you have to say.
Otherwise I do believe that I have sufficiently supported my point that there is no reason to set mind fucks and hypnosis apart from other BDSM activities, as if they are more dangerous.
