I've been lucky so far, no scars and I've never burnt myself. The only misshape that I've had is when I was practicing with a friends fire poi, unlit, and it landed on the top of my head and broke the skin open.
I will never have a set of poi that has a bolt going through the center of it. I don't care if everyone says that the cathedral fold is the best.
Gidg sticks her tongue out at Flame Boy and tosses her head Isolations and Hyperloops are highly over rated
You're probably right Flame Boy that the injuries won't bring people in because there have been several threads about it. BUT ... I decided to come and put in my two cents worth, OK probably on a cent and a half.
Who knows, I just might become a regular. Dropping off little tidbits that don't connect to anything.

Hey guys! Thanks Gidg - hope you stay as lucky as you have been so far.
Yeah, I'm sure there have been other threads about injuries...I haven't seen them yet, I guess...I couldn't think of anything else...I haven't been flying my brightest colors lately (at ALL - I've been very daft) ...what can I say??

Flame Boy - ouch...for that reason I'm glad I'm not a male...
At the moment I have numerous small bruises on my legs and one big honkin' ugly one of many colors on my knee. No bad burns, except for the aforementioned eyebrow incident...

Hang on a sec, if anything it's got to be worse being a female swinger cos you gals have got two rather more sizeable assets to keep out of harms way, us chaps have a much smaller area to avoid. However, I don't care how much I hear it, it can't be as painful to be hit in the boob as the ball
ouch.
Hey Gidg, what do you mean by sticking your tongue out at me - "Wheres I come from thems fighting words" (says in my best cowboy accent)
But I'll agree with you that isolations and hyperloops are over rated, they're far too much hard work for how imprssive they look, or rather how unimpressive!
Thnacks for your contribution Badger, a highly valued input
I seem to have lost a lot of leg hair after my burn last night, at one point a chain got wedged between my toes
(but crown jewels are ok! )

It's actually not, I don't think. Somehow I don't hit myself in the chest almost at all. I still think it's worse to be a male spinner. 
How, may I ask, did a chain get wedged between your toes?!
Heehee, patchy leg hair...
Nice picture.
Hmm, I'm pretty lazy on the poi front..haven't burnt in a week, surprisingly. Just been piddling around learning throws. It's a challenge for me...can't catch anything to save the world! Getting better though - ouch! - oops...
Hey Badger, got any other scintillating tidbits to share?

I'm with you PoiGirl, never hit myself in the chest before. But then even if I did it wouldn't take me to my knees and make me roll around on the ground.
I've lived in Texas FB so bring it on! Even though you are the strangest sounding cowboy that I've ever heard.
maybe you can change it now FB, though you are a little strange anyway.
*giggle* the only reason that I say isollations and hyperloops are over rated is because I can't do them.

Im not strange...Im eccentric
Isolations are easy enough, I explained them earlier, its just moving your arms apart and then together again with one beat between. I dunno if you can understand that, its not such a fantastic explanation. Hyperloops are just smeging impossible...well clearly not cos some peeps can do them but I certainly can't
Have you not heard the phrase "Where I comes from thems fightin' words", you hear them in old westerns, that sort of thing
By the by, does your name mean anything or did your fingers slip while typing? Is gidg your initials, or an anagram of your name?
Where can I change from 'stranger' to '..........'?

Yeah, jeez, I dunno about your title, FB. It really should have changed. I would think when it's able to be changed you'd get an editable box on your settings page. It's not like I'm an expert, though! I'm still a stranger too.
Anagram for what, "Digg"?? Heeheehee.

Heya poi girl! It's Alex. Finally figured out how to register. Bloody hell I feel so pathetic... How's it going? Hey did I ever show you my extremely sketchy between the legs weave? I forget if I did. Oh, and I think that one has to have 1000 posts before editing their strangerness.

Hey! FB! Your no longer strange.
ooops I mean a stranger, you'll always be strange.
My name is no typo, I've been going my Gidg since I was three days old. Do you think the name will stick?
To get "the rest of story" you'll have to go to my original introduction on the old forum.

Hey, Alex!!! Good to hear from you here! There, there..don't feel pathetic... 
Nope, haven't seen your BTL weave yet. Sounds...sketchy. Maybe you could show me at Ellison? You going Friday?
Flame Boy, Alex is a friend of mine out here in New York, and the very person I stole poi from! Sorry Alex... 
Um, right. FB, I'm in a casual martial arts group taught by an adult friend. Truthfully I don't even know what types of martial arts he teaches Alex, you probably know...
How do you pronounce your name, Gidg?

As someone from the states you are probably familiar with the name of Gidget? Well take the et off and you've got it. If you aren't think of ridge with a short G instead of the R.

Oh ok. Must show you... it is indeed extremely sketchy though and often results in unintended wraps...I think I might be at ellison, yeah. And *hem* "Sensei Ethel's" class is a cruel and unusual mix of karate, kaze arashi ryu, aikido, and gong fu. And of course the stuff I taught, which is from kali, silat, and jeet kun do.

Ethel? Thats a 90 year old womans name!
Thats a lot of different arts, why don't you just stick with one and become a Grand Master in it?
Does it go well with ballroom dancing? Mix in a couple of high kicks while twirling in your partners arms

Eh, don't think I'm cut out to be a Grand Master at any martial arts. This class's object isn't really to be a Grand Master anyhow, just to learn an array of different things and have fun doing it. It's "just for kicks" (sorry, I had to say it!)
Hmm, ballroom dancing and martial arts...is your partner stepping on your toes, holding you too close or otherwise being obnoxious? You know what to do...
Here's something to do - I found the best game ever on Homestar Runner.com called Peasant's Quest. Soo fun.
