Euuww, how does that work? You deserve a prize for the most bizarre poi-inflicted injury. Anyone have anything weirder?

Nothing wierder here 8O

Ouchers man..

Owie.
Man that's an odd injury. Sphism/sadsmiley
I thought tailed poi were safe.

Ouch, I sympathise... I've flicked myself right on the eye with the end of one of my tails before - a completely unexpected and very painful injury! 8O

Just seen this thread owwwww. How does that work? Was it very sore. X

Ick. Can't say I've cut my eyes, although I've managed to hit them rather hard a few times...

Getting hit anywhere on the face really hurts. Sphism/sadsmiley

I found this out myself when my rock hard glopoi hit me square in the eye. It didn't stop watering for ages and went bright red. I also had an unexplained sore bit on my forehead that hurt for a week every time I touched it. This can only be put down to hitting myself with poi at some point whilst drunk. NEVER DRINK AND SPIN POI IT HURTS LOTS AND IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE. XXX

I hit myself all the time... that's why I put loose beanbags in my sock poi instead of the harder juggling balls that others seem to favor. The looser bags seem to take some of the force from the impact and spread it out a bit.

Man that's nasty, the edges on my tails are sown over so hopefully slightly safer but I usually just use the beanbags without, Sphism/smilesmiley
Still sometimes manage to hit myself in the nuts and end up curled up on the floor unable to move for ten minuits or so. :1
Gotta get a Box. :24

owhh

maybe you should pratice on some lit fire wicks before you make the step to tails ;-)

Tails suck.

(apparently trying to catch up to Rev and poikid in number of posts, at this rate...)

The other day I managed to hit myself right behind my ear with my (heavy) sock poi - right where the jawbone and skull meet. Fuck me that was incredibly painful Sphism/sadsmiley

Actually... Spiralx is ahead of Rev in number of posts...

Yeah, Spiral, you've got what, 5 juggling balls in each of those socks?!? Maybe that's your secret...

holla a friend of me just play kind of butterfly when the poi end catch his left piercing at the nipple Sphism/confusedsmiley what happens is that the piercing is out now and the nipple a little bit different and bloody red
yesterday we got two knock out by poi in the nuts !!

so long, peace and light,

8O 8O f*** i bet that hurt!!, nothing worse than a paper cut, chainsaws 'n' all !

I had those tails cut my eye before! that was... well can u imagine this guy 8O but with 1 eye. Sphism/gigglesmiley

That didnt come NEAR the damage of taking fire poi in the EYE! And it was so fast, like slowmo, that my eye couldnt close untill the poi had bounced off it. Needless to say i went down and it took about 1/2 and hour to pull myself back together. :56 :18

I won an award! Sphism/gigglesmiley

For the most amusing injury Sphism/confusedsmiley sustained at Falmouth on Friday night. :oops:

Yep.
I am the guy who, finishing his last spin of the night, was spinning out and brought a poi right into his forehead. Sphism/gigglesmiley

There is a lesson here: (extension to djmagicfairy's)

:17 + :56 + :18 = :oops:

You poor thing stoneT. It's a very good lesson but we are very likely to keep on spinning at parties, festivals and other places where alcohol is rife so be careful everyone. I really feel that those who can should post pictures of injuries in the galleries (if there's something to see) then we can all have good look especially if you sre nosey like me. plus we can all really apppreciate the pain endured... x
