They are fun but they can be tough on the elbow joints. I think some people here or maybe on the strandpulling board who were really into them and even made there own extra difficult ones?

I like the several that I own. I found that timed holds with maybe some short pulses make things easier on the elbow joints.

Believe or not, a Pilates ring is a worthwhile addition to an exercise toolbox ; works nicely in the performance of Isomotions( think joint mobility).
Of course, it ain't in the same league as a Power Twister but it can be used as a warm-up and cooldown for brutal twister workouts .

Why would anyone use a power twister with his mouth?

Why would anyone use a power twister with his mouth? You have to watch some of Victor's other experiments or stunts to understand that's just Victor. He's 75 btw and sometimes his ingenuity is on a par with Bruce and Grunt.

How dangerous is a power twister? I think if the bent spring is pointing away from you it's not gonna hit your face if you lose your grip? What do you think?

Unless you are putting one end in your mouth or against your groin I think accidents are unlikely. The real risk is tweaking something in your elbow or shoulder; you can mitigate this by letting it open in a slow and controlled manner and by not letting it straighten right out.

Wearing a pair of grippy-rubber-palm garden gloves or similar will help you hang on and keep it under control.

Add some sort of a sheath to a Power Twister - eg, discharge hose

No more dangerous than too many resistance bands on an unreinforced door.

No more dangerous than too many resistance bands on an unreinforced door. what could possibly happen? The anchor isn't goonna break, the wood of the door isn't gonna break either, the wall definitely will not break. The force gets spread out over most parts of the doorframe which is sitting on the wall and it's not like suddenly 100 lbs are pulling on the door. The resitance increases slowly. There is absolutely no risk except of a tube snapping. Just make sure you're on the side of the door thats closing towards you that's important.

I was simply mentioning your ominous sounding description about how "the door moved" in your other thread.
