There are no real ways to avoid spontaneous human combustion as no one actually knows what causes it. It is an extremely rare conditions and there has only been 200 cases in over 300 years.
Spontaneous combustion is one way a forest fire can be started. Other ways include lightning, volcanic eruption, sparks from rockfalls and human causes.
In science class you will have to do a project using combustion
No. Oxygen is a reactant in combustion, not a product.
The odds are incredibly high on this matter. Most do not know the danger's in which spontaneous combustion yields.The odds of spontaneous combustion are currently hypothesized to be within the range of 1 in 2 people. This means that according to vigorous calculations i have been undertaking, you have an 80% chance of spontaneously combusting within the next 20 minutes.Of course this is just a hypothesis.Now 2012, that is 3 years away my son. And yes, 2012 we see the end of all with the world spontaneously combusting at exactly the same time. This means you have exactly a 2% chance of even making it to the year 2012 in the first place, so you need not worry about that.There are certain prevention methods you may undertake. If you noticed in my last article i mentioned various combustion chamber around the globe. If you can find on of these there is a 'safe haven' within them in which you can take refuge. Although finding one will mean drilling 10 miles into the Earth at exactly the right moment, almost instantly, as if you dont u will most likely spontaneously combust.Once again this is all just a hypothesis.
burning of fuel are the good example of combustion and respiration

Spontaneous means without planning. A spontaneous visit to the zoo is one you thought of at the last minute out of nowhere. Spontaneous combustion is when something catches fire without apparent reason, just out of nowhere.

Spontaneous Human Combustion is the theoretical chance of a human body catching fire for no reason, e.g. without any external heat source. Spontaneous combustion of other things does happen, for example in wet hay, this is due to heat produced by bacterial activity in the hay. Finely divided materials are more likely to combust readily than solids as the chemical reaction involved in fire will speed up in finely divided particles. There is no scientific evidence for spontaneous human combustion. One theory is that some bodies may appear to burn on their own when involved in a fire. There is some evidence that the wicking effect as evidenced in candles burning may also happen in human combustion as the quantity of fat in the body may melt in a slowly developing fire in as similar way with the bones acting in the same way as a candle wick. This has been tested in experiments. The appearance of the body may then appear to have burned on its own with no external evidence as the original source of the fire may have been completely destroyed in the fire.
You don't exactly spot them, but you may have one as a friend. They're a bit "uncomfortable" with light (not spontaneous combustion). They usually run in the shadows and darker areas.
== == (SHC) refers to the belief that the human body sometimes burns without an external source of ignition. There is much speculation and controversy regarding SHC, for it is not a proven natural phenomenon. Many theories and hypotheses have attempted to explain how SHC might occur, but those which rely on current scientific understanding say that instances mistaken for spontaneous combustion actually required a source of ignition. One such hypothesis is the "wick effect", in which the clothing of the victim soaks up melted human fat and acts like the wick of a candle. Another possibility is that the clothing is caused to burn by a discharge of static electricity. The likelihood that truly spontaneous human combustion actually takes place is remote, due to the presence of water and the lack of highly flammable compounds and oxygen in the human body.

Spontaneous dancing in the street.
Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion. It cannot undergo combustion.
Honest worship is often spontaneous. The spontaneity of a compliment to a loved one is part of its charm.
No. Oxygen is a reactant in combustion, not a product.
There was a spontaneous reaction of elation when the local lottery syndicate won one million pounds.
