Most horrible yoyo injury

Pmed you.

I’ve had a big green bruise on the back of my non throw hand for about a week now…

Not really sure how it happened but I remember a slipped bind, my overreaction with my non throw hand, the yoyo went somewhere, then my hand hurt real bad, then I had a knot in my string and the yoyo hanging short from my throw hand…

Also, my beard protects my chin real good. When I feel my beard move, I know I need to adjust my head-to-speeding-yoyo-spacial-relation… Or else.

Now, I doubt that is the worst injury ever. My brother just got two stitches when he hit himself in the head with a Flight.

same with me bruise on top of non throw hand and some on my knuckles from unexpected binds in the middle of tricks. That happens when you throw a side breaker on non sidebreaker trick lol. For example if you do a green triangle you can bind straight in if you throw a regular sleeper just let it roll, but if you throw a green triangle from a side breaker it will just roll off the string then you need to loop and bind the opposite way. So back to my point tricks the right directional or else you get banged up knuckles and they make you scared of yoyos for a couple days believe me!

Whoops typed it to fast.

Don’t get me wrong, I consider myself lucky that’s the worst I’ve had so far… And I hope that’s as bad as it ever gets, knock on on wood.

Had a few knuckle busters and face hits. Sometimes my wrists hurt when I do a certain maneuver, that requires extra hand movement.

Went to do a strong breakaway the other day when it was knotted a foot down the string. Hit my non throw hand thumb. Took a chunk out of it. Now I have a crater on my thumb knuckle.

Was throwing my CODE 2 today, string was snagged in the gap without me knowing it. Gave it a hard throw & it hit me in the left eye. Thankfully I was wearing glasses. But it knocked the left lens out. Thankfully mum managed to put it back in.

In response to my sisters’ concerns that I was going to get hit with the yoyo, I made a demonstration to show them that I had much more control over the yoyo than they thought. That being said, I threw the yoyo up into the air, only to have it come back down and smack me on the face.
Pride comes before the fall, no?

I died once

  1. 50 seconds left to my freestyle.
    hits me 2 inches above the temple with much force.
    Horrible concussion with post-concussion effects like dizzyness and puking.
    Also at the time a fracture on my skull.
    Also memory loss. As you see I go on my knee, when I came to I was holding a mountain dew can to my head with a doctor shining a dang light to my eyes. I was told I was basically carried over to the side and even then I was spacey.

I would of been in even more trouble if I would of got hit directly on the temple.
Thankfully I didn’t.

Wow, this thread is a necro, sorry about that. but I figured I’d throw this in there.

Practicing/trying to hit a clean run of my latest trick I created, this happened…you know, when you go to throw a trapeze and the string completely misses your finger…provided a nice “oh :poop:” moment

Yes, it bonked me in the head and no, it surprisingly did not hurt (barely felt it). I (successfully) saved my poor cat who was behind me from getting clobbered…as she sat there in her own world continuing to groom herself :slight_smile:

I took a orca in the eyebrow today. IDK if there will be a scar but it sure was bleeding a lot :frowning:

I did the same thing but opened a car door into my face. Yup. There was a scar.

Just yesterday I slammed my N8 Magicyoyo against my lower knee at top force… I couldn’t even sit back down in my chair after that.

I tried 1A with my YYF flight…ended up with two stitches near my eye.

So, would you do it again?

In my first two weeks of yoyoing I got my shutter in the mail and we were eating at sonic that night, so I said to myself, why not show off a bit? I threw a breakaway and did matrix and did a bind. Little did I know that I got an axle knot! I have never been hit with something so hard in my life! I threw another breakaway and BAM! In the forehead it went! I hit myself so hard that the yoyo actually came apart… Lol I have been very careful since then…
