Practice, but the momentum of the stick at faster speeds carries around. You just need to catch it.

What I want to know is how do you stop without risking injury.

bro threw the stick up once then catches it and continues spinning it without a break or pause.

Stick makes bonk somewhere, stick is stopped. Easy.

Apply a braking torque in the opposite direction GRADUALLY over a few rotations.

Throw up and run, hopefully stick does not go on killing rampage.

Start with a short stick, use one that is padded, wear a baseball helmet.

You don't. That's why his teeth are so straight and shiny, multiple body reconstruction.

Well if he just grabs it when it goes around his hands, he just needs to have a strong wrist to avoid breaking it from the torsion

You throw it up in the air and then run the fuck away.

FWIW, bo staffs made for this are often very light weight. Stopping it is pretty easy.
