I was yoyoing, practicing a new trick I learned. My throws arent that good, so I tend to throw harder. As I practice the new trick, my yoyo slows down, I do a backspin bind. Preparing a extra strong throw. Before I throw I had in my head thinking that there was a knot there. Stupidly not listening to myself, I throw the yoyo extra strong. The yoyo spins a complete 360 degrees. Not having enough time to dodge the yoyo, I get hit at the top of my left eye near my eyebrow. For a few seconds I am in pain but not that much. As I feel the pain even more, I lay down on my bed. As it hurt, I put my hand on my forehead. Confused, thinking why am I sweaty? I removed my hand to see that it was full of blood. As I see that, I rush to the bathroom to look at the mirror and clean off my hand. There is a large bump above my left eye. It looks as if someone put a grape inside of me on my left eye. Thats how big of a bump it was. I will leave it at that. Moral of the story is, be careful when you throw. Check before you throw hard. Don’t be dumb like me and not think. Now I am more cautious with my throws.
I feel you man… Literally the exact same thing happened to me; got a knot, threw the yoyo hard, and it whipped up and hit right above my left eye. The only difference was that mine was with a metal GM2, not a PGM. I still have the scar to prove it.
I’ve had those moments, though my string was knotted up closer to the hand so it wouldn’t reach my face. The yo-yo was perfectly wound earlier, sat in the pocket all day, and then go to throw later only to have one of those funky knots causing the yo-yo to swing back up towards me…yes, it hurt as it yanked my finger…was a strong throw too.
Pics or it didn’t happen! ;D And I got hit below the belt with a nice pointy M1… at full speed. And the bad thing is… it kinda scooped as it came up. :
I used to skate. Then I broke my ankle. Thanksgiving Day 2009. Same week my principal illegally skipped me to seventh grade. And she got fired at the end of the year. I don’t believe in coincidences…
