My yelets snagged the string while I was pinwheeling into a trapeze launching a near full speed hard throw into my under carriage. It hurts. I’m on. 10 minute yoyo break now. ---

I know your pain. Not too long ago I experienced the same with my Rally and those bad thick strings that come with a C3 yoyo. Ouch. Blood? ---

No blood, just a lot of awkward embarrassment and pain. I have a talent for hurting myself with metal yoyos. ---

Man I hate when the yoyo unexpectedly shoots back at you. You literally have to swiftly move outta the way as if you were trying to dodge a bullet! ---

Still trying to decide if the pain is worth it. At least now I can Kwijibo. All it took was 3 hours of practice and a very painful “upwards tap”. ---

I missed my first trapeze and tried to pinwheel it onto the string. The string snagged and shot the yoyo back up the string looping over top and under my non throw index holding the trapeze. As it came under my finger it came towards my body since it had been poorly pinwheeled. As it came towards my body it was slightly below waist level. :o I have hit myself so many times. My wife laughs at me and has a rule that I can’t yoyo anywhere near where she is. ---

I think the most often that I hit my 'nads is when I try to do a super fast split bottom mount. It comes at you like a missile if you miss your TH index for the final flip. ---
