Right into your eye? Ouch.
The only harm I've ever come close to was a pen right into my glasses. And an aerial to my head just today, as Onyx knows.

Stabbings via trying to catch a falling dr.KT are not uncommon. I've stabbed my hand/leg pretty bad with a signo tip but thank god its not sharp so no blood was drawn....would have made a nice hole if i was spinning my dr.KT

Sometimes when I drop my pen I'll try to stop it by batting it into my leg. You can see how that would cause many many problems over time.

Just recently i was spinning a Dr.grip and I stabbed myself in the hand with it. A piece of lead punctured my skin. Luckily I was able to pull it out.

The Dr.KT is the source of all pain that has been inflicted on me through penspinning
aerials landing on fingernails...
My worst incident was while practicing ringaround. KT falls vertically and I slap my palm down whenever I drop a pen...

Yeah, I jabbed myself a good couple of times while trying to take apart various random pens. Especially my first time poking a hole in the back of my RSVP MX. It was horrible D: I couldn't play guitar for like a week

Heh well it's okey, I have smashed my balls 2 times harder once when I drived on my motocross, GOD DAMN!
That must have been the worst pain I ever felt on my body in my whole life, I can still feel the pain when I thinking about is...
Well, who need kids... XD -

Long story short, i was attempting to double cap a comssa and lost my wisdom tooth.
...nah, some dentist did that. But i did get a small blister on my finger from trying to grip multiple pens though. -

god don't get me started on injuries. My fingers have been sliced SO many damn times cutting G2/HGG barrels. Seriously, idk how my hands don't look like freddy krueger. Ever since I was a lad, it started in 7th grade, me being bored with a pencil and flipping it...completely sharp in the air. Lands point up, hand goes down, pencil tip goes 3/4 in. into my finger. ow. From then on it just went down hill, Dr. Kt's are the seed of evil. So many stab wounds from those damn things. I've had a fingernail removed from spinning a signo bictory. and I've pulled the hey my pen is falling, i'll grab it!*whacks self in nuts* Guh........and i have dislocated my ring finger numberous times from over stretching for a sonic clip......OWWWWWW!

2 words : super glue
i was glueing a tip onto my pen and i thought it was mostly dry but there was still some left in the tip and i started to spin it. some of it flew out of teh hole at the top of the tip and landed about a half a millimetre away from my tear duct - it was on my eye lid just where the lashes are. then i realised there was glue there and i put my finger up to it - then i was running to a sink franticaly with a finger stuck to my eye lid lol. lucky my dad knows alot about eyes and about superglue - he yanked my finger away pulling away eye lashes.
dont worry i got it off no problem except for the fact that i had 6 eye lashes glued to my finger.
my parents were nearly ready to take me into casualty lol -

OMG! thats crazy.... i would get like so scared that i might get blinded or something.
I never got an injury from PS but when my friend threw some rock or something at me, i was gonna go get it from the ground but then he like Slide tackled my hand on ASPHALT the was like blood everywhere and u can still see this weird round scar on my hand... watch my battle video, you can see it on my index finger base knuckle -

I was trying to spin a pilot super gel today.
And the pen fell, while i was trying to catch it with my left hand, somehow, the tip of the pen cut my thumb.
Bleed quite awhile... -

eh when i was modding in our house I cut my index finger with an x-acto...and in school a fine point ballpen punctured my thumb...deep.I almost fainted and I was sweating hard because of too much blood lost in 3 seconds(this doesn't mean it's bloody...it's just like blood rushed out fast)..when I backcap a ballpen or spin sharpened pencil I hit the tip sometimes when I catch it.and it punctures my palm hard and straight on...I also always get tiny cuts in my fingers because of my x-acto...

I had many holes in my hand and in my leg. When you want to catch the pens with a hit you may get hurt.

Well... I had a cut on my thumb from my MX.
And just today I threw my MX at some kid's balls. Now my MX has a Signo tip and a nail in the end and it had some power in the throw ^^... -

Wow, Dr KT is really evil...

Date: Sat, Jan 26 2008 01:43:17
lets see... while modding:
sliced open a nice big hole on my finger, almost to the bone, cut a bunch of nerves... omfg, it didnt even hurt, i just lost ALOT of blood =\
while spinning:
mainly what others have done, slammed kt into balls, hit myself in the glasses, stuff like that -

I made a big gash with an exacto knife trying to clean out a comssa cap when it slipped, but luckily it wasn't my master hand

this thread is about injuries while spinning pens not while modding pens

I always included pen modding as a part of pen spinning
-
Date: Mon, Jan 28 2008 05:56:55
so to you cutting pens = spinning pens?
-
Date: Mon, Jan 28 2008 05:58:07
No, I just consider it a part of the whole "pen spinning"
