    A while ago I was recording messing around doing string tricks and the Tama came up and hit me in the face. Swore I was knocked out for a second, but I just got up and turned the camera off and immediately deleted it. Probably the worst dama pain I've had aside from the casual funny bone or knee shot.

    I think that on Dave's instagram( or Kendama USA's insta, I forgot), he posted a picture of the tama that split in half! It didn't even look like you could just glue it back and play with it again! Btw, it was a tiger's eye translucent tama.

    Remember what Keith Matsumura once said in a spacewalk tutorial video: " When you're learning spacewalk, go outside with some grass around, nothing breakable, no glass, small pets, children, because in an arieal trick, it might get out of hand and something can get broken inside." Just eatch Kendama USA's spacewalk turorial video. It's kinda funny.

    One time I decided to do a gunslinger statue of liberty. You have to really huck the tama up and when you do the gunslinger, the weight of the tama is different than usual, and the ken flew off my finger. The big cup hit my eyebrow and made a little gash that started to bleed. I was in a room with over 50 and luckily nobody saw it :p

    On another occasion, it was of the first times I ever picked up a kendama. A few of my friends at school had some and the first one I ever played was a tk16. It had a pretty heavy tama and I got used to the weight. Later that day, I went to play with someone else's, this time a shin fuji, which had one of the lightest tamas ever. I went to do a pull up spike and it flew straight up and hit me square in the forehead.

    Those were probably two of my most noteable dama accidents haha

    I really like to do those wrap up string tricks, but sometimes I can't land the trick at the end of the string combo and it bruises up and gives my hand some blisters.

    Broke my wrist while going for a downspike lol. I was playing super close to a coffee table and when I went to spike I accidently slammed my arm into the corner of the table.
