i can't imagine pen spinning affecting in any way your heart, and there's a whole forum dedicated to "hand care" lower down in the board

marfan describes a person
like he is a marfan
people who are marfans have a second pulputation in their heart beat
their life spans are cut short...
he got it at birth not from spiningQUOTE (SyntaxError @ Apr 29 2010, 10:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Double the weight. Double the fun. Double the pain.

isn't this about pen spinning and ur health? not buster cyl2????
anyway, if ps is gonna affect your health, it wouldn't make sense, guitar hero helps prevent arthritis, it excercises your fingers, but shouldn't ps be the same way? it would make sense if it did. -

i doubt bonkura health had anything to do with pen spinning. If a pen spinner dies due to an earthquake we can't assume that pen spinning caused the earthquake can we?
if anything, i reckon pen spinning helped me developed my mental strength -

Everything you do in excess will hurt you, I mean, playing the piano can make you sick if you spend 10 hours in front of it.

i've known a few people who got RSI (repetitive strain injury) from pen spinning excessively
their wrists hurt every time they moved them i think... they needed a brace for awhile if i remember correctly... i dunno, it happened awhile ago, but they got rsi for sure from pen spinning + typing on the keyboard -

Dude... Marfan syndrome means you are growing fast. Everything else is just side effect. I, for example, have a marfan syndrom myself, yet my heart is quite normal. Cannot say that about other parts of my body and the shortened life span though, but that is a different story.
And I guess yes, PSing can cause you carpal tunnel(well more like everything you do with your hand has a risk of carpal tunne, just PSing has higher riskl), and what JC said, RSI.
