Im about 6’3" and the ceiling was about 6’5"… i started a trick and missed the string coming around for a trapeze. It kept spinning around like an around the world and shattered the light above my head, spraying glass everywhere in the room and putting a big gash in the yoyo that i had to sand down so it wouldn’t hurt when i bind. other than that im usually pretty careful and dings dont really matter to me.

Not a ding, but I put a 3mm scratch in what was my perfectly mint bape cascade. I had the know on a dragon string come out mid trick and it flew into a display case at my local hobby shop 😕 I got over it in about 15 seconds lol
