So as I have said in other threads, bad heart, so Iām on blood thinners. I started throwing 3 months ago, I have a handful of great bi-metals and a few fixed axle. I bruise extremely easy. So my wrists, shins, thighs, arms and face. I have hit them all. Iām covered in bruises from yoyos, go figure. Iām getting pretty good though and fortunately no cuts or gashes
I just put my Rook into the wallā¦ just put a new string on yesterday and the coating already shredded it. It had that nice ātingā sound though so it was worth it.
I just laughed so hard. I love that sound
I was was messing with a college friend, with some well placed eli hopsā¦ he reacted bad and swatted the yoyo. It was my Dif-E-yo barebonesā¦ which came unscrewed when he smacked it and it separated over the concrete. :ā( I sent it back to Frank for a resatin, which helped a ton. Itās barely noticeable nowā¦ could use another satin though.
Worst accident to me, being a newb Iāll be doing newb thingsā¦I landed my Magic N12 right between the eyes. Nothing tragic, just swelled like crazy.
Second worse accident, I chunked my ceiling fan blade hitting it with a Replay proā¦Iām just glad it was the blade and not the light :o
Slashed open my eyebrow with a snagged bind on my werrd minute. One stitch later, I almost throw it away in pain, but not quiteš
Oh, I forgot. Slammed my yomega glide into a light fixture, raining glass down on my head and giving my a nice scar on my arm. It was spectacular.
OK, Iāll bite. I was at momās throwing my Samurai and I had my hands right in front of my face when the sucker bound and hit me in my right eye knocking the lens out of my club masters and sending me to the floor in a heap. Totally knocked the wind out of me and gave me a splitting headache. The other only real close call was with my first blue Ywet, it tried to kill me at the pizza joint by hitting me right between the eyes. My forehead spouted blood, crap got in my eyes I couldnāt see. I traded the Ywet to Dang and gave my neighbor the super yo for his birthday. Let those guys get killed.

I put a āholeā in the crease of my left eye with a bimetal superstar because of a snag. Blood ALL over muh fayce lol. I had a black eye for daaayz.
So I just discovered if you try to type "a āholeā " With out the quotes this board just replaces it with the word āJerkā lol. Nice XD
Fun fact. Blood looks green on a aqua colored shutter.

My titanium Shutter bounced down 67 flights of concrete stairs.
Hardly even got a scratch.
It was in my pocket at the timeš¤

Surprise bind after a hard throw, and the Musashi is heading straight for the side of my face. Time slows to a crawl, and I can see the hard cold edge of death itself spinning at about a million miles an hour coming to end my life. In this matrix-like time warp I have time to wonder about mistakes Iāve made, things I could have done differently.
I did the only thing I could do. I cowered behind my throw hand like a frightened bunny. A pain so intense it causes a blinding flash of light behind my eyes, and the back of my hand ignites as if napalm had been dropped from a fighter bomber directly on it. The pain swells, and as the flash of brilliant light fades, I hear three things. The sounds of breaking glass, a giggling nine year old boy, and liquid hitting the floor.
It seems the Musashi ricocheted off the bones of my hand and vaporized the top half of a pint glass containing a freshly poured Guinness, which was rapidly and tragically draining onto my kitchen floor. My son couldnāt stop laughing and just kept handing me paper towels while trying to get control of his laughter.
Iād like to think thereās a lesson in all thisā¦

Luckily I havenāt had anything too bad, but lets just say Iāve had to explain why my lip was bruised and bloody a few times.
I was throwing my Terrarian the other day and didnt realize i had a snag. Gave it a good hard throw and the snag launched it right between my eyes. Made me see stars and left a nice welt.
Not really an accident per se, but I was having a bad day so I decided to throw for awhile to see if I could de-stress. Stupidly, rather than doing easy, relaxing tricks, I started right in on a trick I was working on and still struggling with. Naturally, I couldnāt hit the trick to save my life and got even more frustrated. I took the yoyo off my finger and meant to throw it harmlessly into the couch cushion. Somehow, I missed an entire couch at point-blank range, and hit the end table next to the couch. Miraculously the table was undamaged, but the yoyo was completely trashed. It was a Navigator. One of the rings popped off and both the ring and the yoyo half bent so I couldnāt really put it back together in any meaningful way. So that yoyoās retired now but I keep it visible near where I usually throw as a reminder.
