I think I'll have to side with Falcon here. Even a friendly wrestling match, or using a sandbag to box brings out a certain amount of aggression, you are trying to win after all.
And there is never anythign such as "no chance of anything going wrong" Even if one of your untrained brawlers doesn't accidentally miss with his punch, his opponent may be sidestepping, dodgin or tripping when the punch is thrown, resulting in a critical hit. And even hits to the chest can be dangerous, hit someone when they're off balance, and you might just send them flying. This may cause them to bang their head in the floor when they go down, which in a unlucky situation could result in a concussion.
Also, if you get the same feeling as sparrign and boxing, why not go with that. I still think that is easier, as it demands less organization from you yourself, and pertains fewer risks.

OK - Not full power, but in sparring, you learn to control how much power and when to stop the fist.

Oh yes. That is a very important skill. You also learn where to stop your fist for your own safety. Without much training punching can damage your elbow.

Chrispy - Yeah, it si call hyper extension, you should never extend your are more then 95% of the way in a punch.

I have seen many a good sparrer put out for several weeks because of a "hotshot" young sparrer.
(Of which I am happy to say I am not!) Unlike other things such me posting like ICQ.

Well if you all enjoy it thats fine. I wouldnt say that there is no use for trainers and other precautions. Many people get hurt in situations such as yours.

Risk not high enough? I have heard that before, you guys are punching each other, how high does it need to get? You get hit in a certain part in the body it will stay with you for the rest of your life.
EDIT: Sure, it will be a accident, but that does not help the person that just got a kidney taken out. (Yes, if punched lightly in the right spot in can disable a kidney.)
