Just like the title says, what is the worst dama related injury you have had? For me it's probably every so often when I miss a down spike in bare feet and the tama completely obliterates my foot. Other than that I have been lucky enough to not have worse.
I cracked my thumbnail almost in half, which fell off, trying to catch a space walk that I launched way too fast.
Was doing a swirl when the dama decided to fly off my hand. Needless to say a tama that is projected in the air at lightspeed only to crash land into your skull is not pleasurable. That i can assure you.
I was trying a butterfly line and the skin on the side of my finger just came off. I think some of you have had this.
I had my dama around my neck, and caught(unknowingly) in my backpack, so when I set down the 20 lb backpack, I got a major string burn across the neck. I still have a scar
From the Worst and Best. . . thread: . . . Worst: Tearing my bicep muscle away from my forearm just after landing in Manila while loading the car at the airport. The bags were mostly kendama and related stuff so I guess it's technically a kendama injury. On the good side of it though, I got a lot better at lefty tricks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Buddy of mine missed a down spike that sent the tama crashing into his knee. Thought nothing of it. A week later couldn't walk. Went to a hospital, got surgery done to clean his infected knee. He was in the hospital for one week.
Wow, some of these are pretty extreme! Worst I ever got was going for dub loon flips and caught myself right on the eyebrow. Hurt like all heck and was bruised for a week.
I've had several black eyes. .. a couple are in old edits of mine..lol But I straight KO'd myself a couple months ago. .. straight elbow smack so hard it cut off blood to my brain.. passed out on the couch in the terra shop. .lol
I herniated a disk in my neck. I'm sure there were many contributing factors other than kendama but it's been a reoccurring issue. It was about 2 years ago now and I still can't play for long before i get pinched nerves and a numb arm. I need to work on my dama stance posture...
Ken hit off my hand when I tried to grab it in midair and it hit me right on the bridge of my nose. Broke skin and bled a little. I think that was the only time I ever snapped a string haha
I have racked myself multiple times with the ken and the tama, and it developed into epididymitis. I thought it was testicular cancer at first. Doc persribed less space walks and whirlwinds.
