severely broke tibia & fibia on my dominant/jumping leg. I was less acrobatic in the months after this break.

lets see:

no lightbulbs, yet, although my mate did soon after I bought my first poi

I've taken several chunks out of the wall plaster in my apartment with my practise staff

slightly broken an iron (it leaks water now when I use it)

one fingernail

oh yeah one monkey fist at falmouth (went flying off into the night when I extinguished it to be recovered the next morning: thanks Durbs! Now currently in use as a fire cj ball by gelfling with its brother after I deliberately broke that one (it wasn't safe to use for poi any more)

manhood, nose, head, arms, legs have all taken a beating from my poi at one point or another, but thankfully none of them broke!

Although I did manage to burn off most of my eyelash and give my self a black eye (with soot) just before I went on a first date.

Because ActiveAngel sounds like a feminine deodorant

Like sex, I'm much more interesting in real life than online.

i recently snapped the end of my favorite spiral necklace spinning poi's with golfballs in the handles,
i was gutted, but it could have been my nose i guess!

ive broken MANY of my mums garden flowers and plants (when i was learning)

My first fire staff was made from 2 WW2 1 man tent poles wedged together with the wicks wired on. I broke this on my first burn as it was rusted through but didnt realise!!

3 aerotech staffs (one of these was not me) frown
1 aerotech juggling ball frown
Contact balls and mirrors on the floor dont mix!
finger nails - yup
Many Pint glasses
A Few lightbulbs
A light Shade
I broke the friendship with our nextdoor neighbours teaching myself bounce juggling in our kitchin at 2 in the morning,
One of my housemates clubs doweling, doing bounces of the floor (i am yet to admit this yet, as he thinks george dunnit!)

Broke the light fitting, cant use it anymore coz any bulb put in it burns out within 10 min, made a hole in the stealing trying to practice staff with a pole thats too long, and a set of glo poi. The poi itself went over the wall and the batteries ended up on the roof of my house.

I've broke nothing with staff, poi, or diabolo. I don't even understand how one can break lightbulbs (I don't mean how they can break, but how you can break them with poi).

one doesnt set out to break things, it just happens...and no one ever really knows how cos it always happens when your not actually looking.

I don't spin, but I have seen someone break up a party by getting someone so pissed off with their poi that they pulled a gun out and fired it in the air, and everyone ran away.
