After inflicting some painfull burns on myself I switched to setting fire to things other than body parts. 2nd shot at a tennis ball and am happy enough to put the matches down for another week ;)
Held ball in the palm of my hand, lit it and when the flame had built up I grasped the ball and clicked. The scorch mark is where the ball was soaked in ISO Propryl alcohol

Glad you gave up on setting light to yourself (for now). I like the movement of the flame and the position of the arm in the frame is good. I might have to agree that the lighting is a little harsh on the arm and detracts slightly from the flame but still a good idea :o)
Even though this has been done before I like it. But the green from the tennis ball is a little overwhelming it draws my eye away from the fire which should be the subject. Good effort and I give it generous 7
