Aight, peoples. Here's something. I wanna know the worst stuff that's hapened to you. From beatin someone in the face on accident to beating ur nuts with the poi. Hell...if you've killed a horny gnome by stranglein him with the cord, tell me.
~Advice of the Day~
Don't be scared of the past that haunts you... Be scared of the guy in the tree that has nun-chakus... He'll kick your ass and i have the scars to prove it...

Hello!
I have had a couple of pretty bad knocks and bruises not anything that drew blood.
I have, though, knocked myself so bad on the head/face with poi, staff, double staff that I have on several occasions pondered going to the hospital for fear that I had a concusion.
The staff loves to hit me smack in the middle of the head giving a no neck cartoon effect.
Much love, Drome

melted eyeslids........right......
Well, this is something some guys can relate to, but i can almost garentee not to this effect...
The other day, i was tryin out new stuff, so i tied two big rolls of pennies in the corner of two bandanas and started to swing it. It was goin alll good, but they wrapped around and BOTH hit my nuts ... I fell to the floor and crawled to my room and fell on the bed and passed out... Now getting kicked in the nuts is one thing, but a roll of pennies goin smack dab on it at the speed i was goin.,.....i thought i was gonna freakin die....

Breaka, you can delete the excess post by going to the edit function.
Ive cut my head open with staffs doing a simple thing showing some kid, but the most painfull was a belt in the side of the knee, instant collaps and crawl round in agony.
The worst performance was during the day and i was trying too hard to inpress rather than play. just bounced my staff off my head a lot of time, dropping and swearing and burning myself.
but i did it again later and did one of the best performances ever, so its all ok
love

haha i was only using practice poi when i ripped my eyebrow open. Other fun things i have done: Near strangled myself using chain wuchu (thankfully not lit) and ripped my hands open on aforementioned chain. Near concussed myself, using wooden poi, and a stainless steel staff.... `

this one time, at burning man, I had just lit up, and someone spun some camp fuel onto my face (apparantly they didn't hear about spinning off BEFORE you light up) and I lit my whole face on fire right in front of a crowd of 30000 people. but they cheered. maybe not for me, there was like 500 spinners going at once, but nonetheless, they cheered. who needs nosehairs anyway.

you can't have a war against terrorism because war IS terrorism.it's not about worshipping fire. its about making the fire want to worship you.

Ive only really had one bad experience.
Id been spinning with two socks on either end of my staff to avoid everything getting sooty and so Id got used to the weight of it. When I then took them off my staff was going far faster than what I was used too. I somehow managed to hit the underside of my chin and since I had my tongue a little way out...
It almost got cut off but it was okay. ts incredible how fast the tongue heals, in about three days there was no mark at all.

well there was the second time I ever spun fire
I decided I'd make my own wicks using wire and towels
the first time I used kevlar wicks
I was in a park in Newmarket with some friends and some other people
so after spinning for around 15 or 20 minutes I was starting to get tired, and the flames were starting to die down, so last time when that happened I just spun them really fast and they went out....this time I tried that, and obviously the 2 pieces of wire I used were not enough and one of the towels flew out and almost hit some guy and his girlfriend, and he got really mad and started freaking out, then the grass caught on fire where the towel landed,
it was pretty scary, it was just a good thing I had a friend near by with a wet towel that was able to put it out relitively quickly.

Worst ever case senario. I was auditioning for a regular gig at a club with two other girls. We had a really cool routine worked out and it was all going brilliantly until Meggaty lost the grip on one of her (lit) firechains and it got stuck in the lighting rig settting it on fire and causing untold mayhem. Needless to say we didn't get hired

So I have been spinning about 4 hours straight.
Im wearing UFOs and Im covered in sweat. Im in
complete control. Almost toying with the glowsticks. Moving in and out of thier path as
they whip around me, whistling and buzzing. All
of a sudden, something goes awfully wrong. Next thing I know, my little head is bruised, and swollen. "I burns!"

When my boyfriend and I had just got together I was showing him my poi and did some spinning for him and he liked it. But then I got cocky and tried to spin around both of us and hit him really hard on the head leaving a big black mark. Reeeeeally glad they were unlit.

I have couple of bad experiences but the worst was propably when I set myself on fire. Like, my pants started burning with a pretty big flame... My bf started to pat my pants and soon it was cool but then I felt really hot at my lower back and I noticed my shirt had also catched the fire and was burning :D
Well I was totally fine, didn't even get any burns. But that scared the [censored] out of me.
I thought my clothes were 100% cotton but they weren't... So after that I've always double checked my clothes before I start spinning fire :D

About a month ago now i had left my contact poi in the boot of a friends car at work on the most crazy hot day and im guessing being in a hot tin can the glue inside the poi head started to get gooey. At lunch i got them out to have a spin and the poi head came off during the final tug for an orbital which hit me square in the nose. Suffice to say after 3 years of being my baby-move my orbitals have a hell of a lot of speed to them; it broke my nose and left some gnarly bruising, its the second time i have broken my nose with poi.
