me...again..a few minutes after telling my mum that i wouldnt hit it.
whoops.
£2 in the lightbulb jar (its the same principle as a swear jar)
then again...i havent smashed one for ages.
the funniest thing, was that it was with my aerotechs..and it made a rather loud smashing noise...a bit like..."smash tinkle tinkle"...yes...exact-er-ably like that in fact.
god knows how she didnt notice/ hear!
how often do you smash lightbulbs.

None, since I don't spin in doors any longer.
If I did, and with my luck, I would probably have to replace the ceiling fan and not just a bulb or globe. I could try to act innocent and be so surprised but my room mate (my 62 year old mother) would smell a rat and this would happen . I'm not into self-afflicting pain so I will stick to doing it outside.

hehe... too many times.
After a while I decided to stop investing in new light bulbs. I used table lamps well to the sides of the room where they were out of harms way and taped the main roof socket to the ceiling.

not light bulbs... lamp shades, yes. and i once managed to pull a little spot light thingie off its ceiling wire job by hooking a poi round it.
Not to mention poi leaving skidmarks on the ceiling from where i'd droped them in the mud earlier.
Straight arm poi in a low ceilinged room. don't try it at home, kiddies.

hhhmm.... I reckon I can top the lot of you...!
I spun indoors for the millionth time a few weeks back at college...'cept this time I was a little tipsy and was trying to be rather creative....
I hit the smoke detector on my roof (its a college so it sets off a central alarm...)
It was 4am and it's the middle of winter here....Three fire-trucks turned up (the alarm is connected to the town brigade, 287 people were evactuated in their PJ's and I was left to explain to 7 pissed off fire men why I shouldnt be charged $1200 for setting the alarm off....
Needless to say, I didnt have too many coherent plausible explanations to offer them....
hhmmm.....
I am now a reformed no-longer-indoor poier.... hehe

I've broken one lightbulb as well as the shade that was over it and the connection between the bulb and the mains too.

Afew years ago at a mates bday party I was sitting on a top bunk bed (we were really crammed in for some reason) and it was about 3am and after a drink or two I found a 5c piece on the bed next to me. So i picked it up and flicked up.
Now somehow it made its way to the light bulb and it just went POP! and then there was this glowing red thing for afew seconds and then it smoked a bit and went out.
I think it scared the shit outa the others in the room and basically left me in shock that I actually hit it!
Apparently it screwed up some wiring in his house. But shh don't tel him

I've never smashed a light bulb, I'd really have to try and smash one with my cheap little glow sticks.

You'd be suprised, man. There isn't much to glowsticks, but there's less to a lightbulb. I shattered one all over my room within one day of my moving in. I put a table right under the light (and in the middle of the room) to avoid temptation.
This didn't stop me from spinning downstairs, where- again, with a glowstick- I somehow hit and dislodged what must have been a 5 pound one-piece glass fixture. THAT one nearly took my head off!

hehe oh bad memories I'm more of a poi man but i remember about 3 months ago i was spinning staff in my bed room and and it hit a uv filament on the floor (pretty stupid i know). It smashed into a million pieces and each of those pieces smashed into another million pieces after that i lost count. My carpet still sparkles to this day
