Speaking as an electrical engineer, voltages of any magnitude can be dangerous if mishandled. If the cabling/housing of the yo-yo was blackened by the fault, it could have just as easily ignited. While 24v isn't likely to injure you (unlike, say, 270v 3-phase AC) it can make things happen that can.
If anyone would like to test this theory, just go out to your car and
short your battery (only 12v!) with a large metal object, the resulting
fire should serve as proof enough.
