I'd say it's best not to scare people with advice on how do deal with or avoid bad trips, it only plants the seed for a bad trip to happen. I try to pitch this kind of advice in a purely positive way such as, it's nice to be outside it's good to have some music you like around, it's good to drink fluids, it's good to have reasonable control over your space. I'd say it's most important to be with someone who's judgment you trust, with a reasonable emotional IQ, who you generally enjoy being with, it's preferable that this person has done acid before.

The most important thing is to be enthusiastic about the amazing thing that you are going to do. It's somewhat awesome to let your subconscious seep a bit through the cracks and bleed into the waking world. You might have incredible incites into that what makes you who your are, you might see the world as a system of incredible complexity in a way that you never imagined, or you might laugh your ass off. The attitude you go into these types of experiences largely dictates or colors the experience you have. If you go into the thing with excited butterfly's eager to engage in the novel and wonderment that is your brain you will find the experience pretty enjoyable.
