About a year ago, I hit myself HARD in between my eye and eyebrow with the sharp edge of a macrocosm, before 2nd bell before the teacher had arrived. It starting bleeding A LOT, but it wasn’t until my classmates went very white and pointed at me that I lifted my hand up to my head. There was blood everywhere, and I just took off, running to the nurse’s office. I just about passed out from bleeding, exhilaration and nerves, but managed to stay conscious all the way to the plastic surgeon. To put it roughly, he had to “fix” a small section of my head. I haven’t heard any other stories as serious as this, but if you have one, please share!

I dislocated my knee on stage for a dress rehearsal for a talent show. For the first 20 or so seconds of my screaming, they thought it was part of my act.

It wasn’t.

I posted this before, but I did almost the exact same bloody eye brow thing as you with my first run Chief.&nbsp; Massive blood all over the floor and hands.&nbsp; Just butterfly bandages to fix it up though.&nbsp; I’m a nurse and tried to be a man about it, but it killed me.&nbsp; Still have a scar on my left eye brow.

I’ve had a yoyo snag high up in the air and fling back towards me like that.&nbsp; When I did it I missed my head and hit the ceiling fan.

I have cuts on my pinky from 4a string burn. I have a scar on my eyebrow from a 54 snagging and hitting me. When people asked me how I go it I said " my yoyo bit me again".
