[Help Thread] Cubing Injuries?

[Andreaillest]

Just yesterday, me and my cousins were playing basketball and I jammed my right hand ring finger on the ball. I can't really do any fingertricks as it still hurts a bit.

part of my peeling cube sticker went under my nail and poked it

Nice bump Jorghi

[nlCuber22]

And that hurt...?
lolwtf

It happened to me with tiles before and made me bleed. It didn't exactly feel great.

 

[uberCuber]

Do the tiles change the pain effect? I wasn't really aware that this happened to people, considering all of my stickers chip and don't peel.

It actually happened to me once (with stickers) and it started to bleed a little...but it stopped hurting less than 30 seconds later

My cube exploded and I got burn marks and wounds all over my body

My Eastsheen 5x5 kept rubbing against my thumb, so I ended up with a huge blister on my thumb.

I lol'd

Anyway, it might be imaginary, but I think my right forefinger stands like a millimeter to the right (because of the U turns) It's probably nonsense, but still really weird

You're not the only one.

I dropped a 4x4 on my toe (it was a QJ), but just picked it up again and ignored it. I looked down again a few minutes later and it was bleeding.

I was lying down, solving in bed and a Piece on my GuHong Popped and landed in my mouth!

2. had a guhong edge pop and hit my eye (a week ago)
3. got a pb with a dayan+mf8 4x4. but i dropped it on my toe ( 3 months ago.)
4. Too Much One-Handed. (yesterday)

Grammar nazi

Anyway, no cubing injuries (at least not that I can remember).

I figure it's better to bump an old thread than start a new one.

-Cuber's wrist from too much OH.
-Dropped my 4x4 on my toe.
-Stickers chipping under my nails.

Seriously, that last one. Last week, I was casually solving my 4x4 before bed (as in not speedsolving), and a sticker chipped off and lodged itself under the nail of my right index finger. It took my 5 minutes to figure out the cause, and by that time the place under my nail had started to bleed. It hurt to cube with that finger the next day. >__> It just happened again while scrambling my ZhanChi, but it was my ring finger. I had nail clippers right in front of me so I got it out within a minute, but it's bleeding. ;_;

I had cuber's wrist when I was avidly using my storebought. Idk if mods count, but I cut myself several times modding my V Cube 6 (Which is for sale, check the buy sell trade forum(Shameless plug))
