Most painful YoYo accident

My finger got cutoff the string was to tight Jk getting hit in the eye was the wrost

Iā€™ve had nothing major.

Itā€™s the constant appearance of threads like these that always remind me to be safe.

Exactly. As Mad Eye Moody would say, ā€œCONSTANT VIGILANCE!ā€

Onestar to the face after a knotted bind. So glad it wasnā€™t anything metal or heavier.

Because of that accident I adopted the habit of always throwing a clean frontstyle bind before every breakaway, and I havenā€™t had it happen since :slight_smile:

Classic video.

Safety throws for the win!!!

When I had been yoyoing for a few months, I went to visit my friends in another city (I spent summers in Toronto, lived in Montreal). All excited to show off my new skills, I pulled my YYJ Speeder out of my pocket and threw a breakaway. Turns out the yoyo was knotted, got halfway down and snapped back, flew up, hit me in the nose. The impact was enough to both leave a long red scratch along my nose AND burst a blood vessel in my nose.

The result was tons of blood everywhere, and my friends not being very impressed with my skills :stuck_out_tongue:

I rung my bell pretty good one time when I took a Mega SpinFaktor to the face. It hit me right in the eye, and it was almost swollen completely shut within a few hours.

Just 5 minutes ago, I did a gravity pull, turns out the string had a knot, came back in a weird way then stopped halfways and hit me in the PP. Ugh.

I split my eyebrow open with a Wooly Markmont. Should have probably got stitches but I just put on a butterfly band-aid. Base knot 1, JetEyeNight 0.

A long time ago when I first learned guillotine, I had some problems with the yoyo being in control
I hit myself in the head with a metal yoyo after loosing control and landed on my foot (I was barefoot)

once I threw a sleeper and i gave it slack and it jumped back to my hand and I broke a nail

Am I a bad person if I didnā€™t cringe when the yoyo hit your head, but when it started hitting the floor?

Nope, dead serious. The rumor at school was that I had died!

Thatā€™s rough.
