that's very sad... =(
personally, i'm more of a RACK person -- "risk-aware consensual kink." SSC gets a little too high-n-mighty for me, since "sane" is a little subjective, really -- and once someone decides what you're doing doesn't fit their definition of "sane," they think they have a right to get in your business.
that said, breath play can be very dangerous; there are all sorts of things that can happen that you never plan for. a lot of people stress having a drop object or something like that to let the Top know that you're in trouble, in case you can't speak for some reason.
anyway, very sad story. =(
Yeah its a terribly sad story, particularly since these people were living in accomodation for vulnerable people menaing both would have experienced hardship before.
I know what you mean about SSC. The sane aspect is pretty subjective. I guess one of the defining aspects of D/s for many is pushing subs which inevitably means pushing the limits of what people consider sane.

very sad indeed. To answer your question though. In my opinion, no I do not believe it is too dangerous to be performed. Unfortunately, there are a lot of kinks that can kill you. This one seems to be the most prevalent in news, but it can be avoided. I will say one thing though, I will not do breath play with just anybody. I have to have a very high level of trust with this person, especially if I was to be in bondage at the same time. Said level of trust would more than likely take years as this type of edge play is in fact dangerous if not performed properly.
I wonder is the interest in autoeroticism due to the high death rate or sensationalism. It seems to get a fair bit of attention: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoerotic_fatality
It would be interesting to know what the most dangerous of acts in BDSM play are where there is a rare but still significant possibility of death. I don't know that much about breath play, having never done it in any way seriously but just from my own perspective it seems the most inherently dangerous because the neck is so fragile, and once something goes wrong there is very little time (if any) to get the person to a hospital.
