Was reading this thread last night and today I accidentally sent my Still Rollin flying straight into my nose. Ouch. Luckily I’m okay. Next time I’ll be more careful about booping it when it’s out of control right next to my face. ^^;
I was loopin with my deepest state last night and it NAILED me in the forearm lol, left a welt
Usually I hit my hands with a super fast spinning yoyo and take off a layer of skin. I actually have a few scars on the backs of my hands from it.
I bonked myself in the eyebrow doing zontals recently but it was a glancing blow. It did bleed but it really wasn’t that bad.
I have a bad habit of bailing out of trick attempts with waayyyyyy too much speed left in the throw, I’ve finally learned to do a grind or something first to burn some of the energy before binding now lol
After a bind I thought was clean, I threw a yoyo as hard as I could, only for it to come screaming back and clock me in the forehead. I got two goose eggs on my head from that!
I was playing with my plasm 1-2 weeks ago, it got a snag, threw a forward pass to do a couple loops and it hit me in the forehead/eyebrow. I was facedown on the couch for 5 minutes, and I had a goose egg for 4-5 days. I’ve been fortunate dodging some snags with my metal unresponsives, with the occasional head whack, but this one was brutal.
A few years ago, I had a student slice into his face/eyebrow with a MYY metal, he missed 2 days of school and had a scar for a bit. That scared me into safety throws, and softer but cleaner throws, and my combos were pretty short for a few months after that.
Using wet sugar on goose eggs helps them go down much faster. Certainly worked for the ones I got! They went down in about two days
