Nice reminders that yoyos are still flywheels and flywheels are as dangerous as the amount of energy you can put into them. All the energy that you can put into a throw can and will ā ā ā ā your day up if dumped into your face.
SO MUCH FUN PHYSICS TO LEARN!
Edit: Just smacked the crap out of my NTH with a snagged deep state.

Yep wasnāt a soft throw at all, fortunately I have a hard head and it didnāt mess up my day other than a minor headache lol. Had it hit my eye, nose or mouth then yeah definitely wouldnāt be having a very good day

Just blasted myself in the eye seeing how fast I could brain twist. The string slipped off my non throw hand. My vision is still blurry. Iām sure Iāll have some fun bruising tomorrow.

Turns out that I can brain twister faster than I can see. One minute I was locked in and then the next I was on ground. My wife thought I hit the wall because my skull made a nice thud.

Had too much Lube in my nucleon (I was paranoid about taking care of it cuz itās the most I spent on a throw) and it bound in the middle of a 1 and a half mount. I had a bruise in the back of my hand for 2 days and couldnāt throw without pain. Itās quite the powerful Yoyo

Iāve been lucky enough to dodge everything that has flown towards my face. Thereās been a few close calls for sure.
My knuckles get wrecked on a daily basis tho.
Ya know, you wouldnāt think yoyo is such a painful hobby to learn. I played sports when I was younger and yo-yoing has beat me up more than anything else.

Man I woke up yesterday and everything seemed like it wasnāt too badā¦today I woke up and didnāt even notice til my girl said something. Itās hard to tell with my eye closed but when I blinkā¦ya I got a black eye from a yoyo 
Is it more embarrassing to tell the truth or should I just say I got beat up? Lol

I would be cool with saying itās yoyo related to be honest. Own it and no one will care usually.

I iced it the day it happened thinking that would be enough. My girl said the same thing about peas when it happened but I just used an ice pack. Im gonna do that now.
Iām just joking about the thing about what do I say. Iāve sent it to two whole chats of my friends. I think itās funny haha.

Oh I know youāre joking me too haha, if you go up a ways in this thread youāll see how my barracuda beat me up as well. Happy it was a knot on my head for a few days though and not replacing teeth

Ive whacked my smackers a few times. Nothing too major but my wife thinks its hilarious.
My worst incident was when i released a front throw for a split bottom mount and the string snagged, swung around real fast and got me right in the eyebrow. Luckily it was just an arcade and nothing pointy or heavy but it did bleed. And it did hurt for a good 4 days afterward. Lesson learned.

Iāve had a few concussions from yo-yos and at least one busted lip. The busted lip came from a spin factor without the rubber rings so it just had razor like grooves that caught my lip before class one day. I just gave the yoyo to someone that was watching and walked off to the bathroom to clean myself up. I took an eclipse with all the weight rings in it, so somewhere between 70-80 grams to the temple on a bad bind. I donāt remember if I was knocked out but I know I went to the ground in pain.

Got a new one!
Iām wearing a bandage contact lens right now after scratching my cornea with my TiNy on Thursday night.
The emergency room doc and ophthalmologist both let me know that the cornea is incredibly dense with nerves and Iām thinking, yeah, I know. If I didnāt know before I know now!
