The dangers and benefits of street suplexing.

[Ryu (non-working password]

Has anyone had experience using suplexes of any kind on the street? It has been brought up that throws like uranage are quite dangerous if the person being thrown is unexperienced, but how many have used suplexing, and ended the fight with that one move?
I am fond of bear hugging my opponent in a clinch, and hoisting him up for a belly to belly suplex. My size and strength are good enough to pull this off rather smoothly, even with larger individuals.
But I have not ever done that to anyone in the street for fear of seriously hurting someone. Are my fears a good thing? Or is suplexing a good way of ending a fight right away? Or perhaps weigh the dangers to yourself too. A back suplex might mistakingly drive your own head into the cement if you miscalculate...meaning you may not get up. Belly to belly is safer, since you turn him over onto his back at the last minute.
What are your experiences?

I've seen a fight end with an arching suplex from behind, I agree I wouldn't do it but I saw it and the guy landed on his head/shoulder on grass and it was cold outside so the ground was pretty hard. The fight was OVER. It was a wrestler vs. a male cheerleader and the wrestler told him to do a cheer after he suplexed him or he'd do it again, pretty mean!

If you feel your life is in danger, or you don’t mind killing someone and doing the time, or there are no witnesses and you think you can get away with it… go for it.

Seriously, I think if you are going to execute a suplex on an untrained opponent on concrete the odds of you seriously maiming or killing your opponent are fairly high. I think if you did maim or kill a guy with that throw and it went to court and they found out you had a grappling background they would crucify you.

I don't know if you guys remember but a video clip was posted on the old forum showing some high school "fight club" and one guy gets side suplexed and his head lands on a curb. It knocked the shit out of him, like lights outs. I don't know if he was okay but I'd imagine you could really hurt someone like that. Which is the exact reason I love greco throws. And yes, I prefer the belly to belly lift and turn over the belly to back or side suplex.
