Yea ive popped myself in the head a bunch of times especially early on being a newb trying to learn trapeze on a yomega powerbrain and it snaps back and WHAMO right in the kisser. its even more frusterating when u dont land the trick. Now im like super aware. You like know it can happen at any minute. LMAO
What happened was I was teaching my friend yoyoing, and I he wanted to try doing a bind. He couldn’t quite get it down, so what we did was I threw the yoyo and he tried to get it back up, using his fingers. I guess he kinda looped it the wrong way, because it slammed up into his finger, which snapped back and broke.
Last weekend, my newly purchased b-grade RecRev No. 9 decided to kiss my knuckle from a poorly executed Kwyjibo or Eli Hop. When I got home about 4 hours later I was wondering why my knuckle was hurting only to realize the fat lipped rim smashed it pretty hard, all 69 grams of that aluminum. Almost a week later, my knuckle still hurts from it! Other than that, I love my No. 9.
Earlier this past week, my yo-yo almost landed on the glass of the pinball machine in my room. I believe I was messing with my Maverick.
Lastly, a while back I was doing some 5A trick, I think I was trying a bee sting when my cat got in the way. I lost control as my cat hopped up on something and kissed my squirrel CW. She gave me this ‘what the…’ look for the longest time.
