I tried to poi with a huge ~15lb chain with big hooks on the end... Didnt work out too well... Specially when one of the hooks hit me in the back.
Also tried with a pair of baseball bats but I think that would be more considered club swinging hehe.

Background: I did a stint as a McDonald's assistant manager, and their cups/lids come in long plastic sleeves/bags tied off at the end.
I got in the bad habit of spinning sleeves of cups on a regular basis. And then, of course, with alobby full of customers, both sleeves opened at the same time, shooting 32 ounce cups all over the lobby.
I don't work there anymore

My keys are on the end of a long rope/string thing. I constantly spin then around and do a ton of wraps.

Big Andy reminded me of another which involves the food service industry hehe.
I currently work at a Quiznos and we wear the vinyl gloves when we make sandwitches and whatnot. Sometimes, when I take my gloves off, Ill stuff one inside the other and spin it

Shopping bags until they split open and my food went everywhere

'twas good fun, was it not Lyra?
An interesting experience...wonder how they felt about it!No good concussion stories, but I did get thrown off a horse a couple days ago, and would have gotten one if not for my trusty helmet. All I have is a very bruised hipbone.
