When you forget there’s a knot in your string and your throw flys back at you nailing you in numerous uncomfortable positions ---

I lost feeling in my wrist for a month after getting a knot in my string… I injured some tendons and nerves or something because if I even barely touched my wrist, I was in instant pain. I’ve also knocked myself out and gotten more bruises and welts than I could ever imagine. ---

I currently have a nice scratch on glasses lens, thankfully not near the center, from a yoyo. Also gave me a nice cut in my eyebrow at the same time. The best part is that the string wasn’t knotted; it was just snagged somehow in how it was wound up. ---

I actually haven’t hurt myself recently, but I when I was still learning to bind well, I hit myself right squack in the nose. ---

It always happens I’ve busted my lip an got some bruises but thankfully that has been it. When I suspect one I throw a front throw and make sure it’s not there first you will know eventually when it happens. ---

When I suspect one I throw a front throw and make sure it’s not there first you will know eventually when it happens. I also throw front throws to try and “throw the catch out,” though even doing this I almost thwacked myself in the face last night. ---
