The least amusing pain is when you hit your funny bone (everybody else will find it hilarious tho)

I've not really had any really good ones since just after I started, when I managed to very nearly knock myself out with the poi of death (TM) a staffer friend made for his girlfriend with solid steel cores,  doing an overhead butterfly, w. collision. They were unlit
I also set my hat on fire, not long after.. which was mainly funny due to the girl who had been teaching me's reaction.. she very politely tapped me on the shoulder, and said 'Um, excuse me, but do you know your hat's on fire?' before putting it out for me

Well it's better than some stranger shouting "your on fire" and thinking that they are being a smart arse.

Hitting myself in any new piercing is agony... i've really not had any that have been too bad. When i first started i had bruises all over. Whenever anyone asked i told them that my other half had been beating me. Scarily no-one beleived me and i had to tell the truth....:)

I seem to have avoided all this....
Well, got one burn on my back, but I have no idea how that happened. I mean, I know my shirt caught fire, but exactly why I have no idea. It was close fitting and all I did was a hip-reel.

I thought that as I got more experienced with poi I would hit myself less. How wrong I was. Got a good whack to the thigh today which is still tender. A few months ago was even better. I fully busted the myth that getting hit in the box doesn't hurt the womenfolk. How wrong I was. I had to take a time out for a good five minutes after that venture.
But it's true. If you're not hitting yourself, you're not doing enough new moves. I'm up to around 14 right now. I want to get to the point whereby I can do a 360 BTB by the end of the summer.

Oh goodness, I've set my bandana on fire a couple of times(i was drunk), I hit myself in the head hard enough to cut my forehead a couple of weeks ago. I also have torn my ACL in my left knee( resulting in surgery) I was in the middle of a backbend while spinning and lost my balance and bent funny to keep from setting myself on fire!

I've been hit by them but it doesn't hurt if you get to dominate the move.

Compared to glowsticks, Poi really don't hurt nearly as much. Though when glowsticks I have this unique ability to guide them straight into my temples. Almost knocked myself out once doing it. Might of actually succeed it was dark outside. All I know is I hit the ground.
Poi Just like going for the back of my head. :P

Doing BTB stuff can be dangerous seeing as it's behind you so you can't see the nut shot coming.

I had to explain to my SO how exactly I came to have two identical bruises, one top of each ass cheek. I was just starting poi at the time, so my explanation of "overhead butterfly" didn't mean squat to him... *g* It was funny though and it taught me a lesson: start with CIRCLES *bg*

I had my ear pierced industrially and hit myself square on the piercing site (mind you it was infected to begin with) and had to run inside the house just to scream haha. Damn that hurt. I've also busted out 4 lightbulbs in my bedroom...now we have none left so we use the lamp LOL.
