    Depends on what it is. I worked at iron foundry for a number of years and the sparks like that really weren't dangerous, we did shit like in the video all the time. The reason I say it's not really that dangerous is there's not that much heat in each individual little spark and they don't really stick or burn things unless they get trapped, especially if they hit your skin, they just bounce off and you don't feel anything. Now if it gets caught in between your clothes and your skin, it burns, but again, typically not long cuz there's not that much heat in each individual spark. Aluminum on the other hand, those splashes and Sparks stick real bad.

    Here is the Wikipedia article.

    My favourite quote is:

    The art of Da Shuhua requires skills, power, and courage. When the leader artist scoops up the heavy iron from the furnace with the wooden spoon, the spoon cannot go very deep. Otherwise, the temperature difference between the cold spoon and heated iron will cause an explosion.
