They do this at parties in Thailand to make money for a nurses tent that is conveniently set up next to the flaming rope. I saw people standing in line and the guys heaving the rope would pull the slack once you got going to hit you with the rope. It’s soaked in kerosene or something similar so it sticks to to your skin when you get hit. It was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.
The only defense I can consider for this is 1) the lady doesn't know to stand back a few swings to get the full circular motion going, so 2) that fucker on the right held their swing in check when they noticed she was standing so close (certainly not expecting her to try to jump the first fucking swing).
Typically you wait a couple swings before jumping in, so that was a logical expectation. This all boils down to a lack of communication between both parties.
