Was doing an H perm and the edge of my fingernail on my left hand got caught under the pointy corners of my Gans 356. It separated and started bleeding. Am now afraid of MU EPLLs

Just switch to the RU EPLLs, and you'll never get hurt again.

Started with RU. I use MU for H Z and ccw U, and RU for cw U

One of my cubing-nub classmates decided to get into OH. He was practicing F turns with his thumb and somehow sprained his thumb. Wat?

Oooh, that hurts just to read...
Oh my gosh, it does. Welp, I'm going to step away from this thread now. Good night!

Prepare yourself.
1. My brother has thrown a 2x2, a 3x3, a 4x4 (at least these two were pillow V-Cubes) and the lube bottle to my head. Don't worry, he's dead.
2. My thumbs always get stuck between an edge and a corner of the 3x3. Ouch.
3. From 11:30 pm to 3:45 am tensioning the DaYan Megaminx. I don't know how many screws ended up in my eyes. I got up at 2 pm. I suffer while solving it.
4. Every single finger in my hands got dkgkgjefivkgksjs after trying to take apart an edge from my best friend's Rubik's 2.0 during English class (I'm Spanish). It took an hour for them to come back to their original form.
5. I've hit myself with everything after getting more than 45 seconds on 3x3 (walls, cupboards, doors, desktops, floors, keyboards, musical keyboards, lamps, books, windows, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, stackspeeds, Casio calculators, knifes and V-Cube 4s). Yeah, I've almost killed myself by no reason but cubing...
So children...
Never go cubing, it's as unhealthy as 4.90 hamburgers in a row.

I've done a similar thing.. I was using a really small flathead screwdriver and put it down on the table for a second. It rolled off the table, so I instinctively went to catch it, and basically slammed my hand into the screwdriver right as it hit a chair. It definitely didn't go through my hand, but I did have to pull it out..

I don't want to picture that...............
I killed myself after I felt the Guanlong, does that count as an injury?
Also, I've noticed recently that my fingernails/fingers have been stinging, maybe because of turning to much xD

Oh.. that makes me feel more comfortable. I, unfortunately, did puncture my hand.
Guanlong is my main, so..

I guess I got a dud then, considering the reviews were all 4-5 stars on the Cubicle.

Well I also just don't have anything better, so they could just be that bad.

I got a large number for multi (though I've given many away) and they varied hugely. Some were amazing - some of the best cubes I've ever used - whereas others were slow and had lots of spring noise. I don't know how much they'd differ if they were all set up the same though.

That's interesting, I also have a bunch for multi (10ish), and they're all extremely similar. This is getting off-topic again.

During the last Worlds, in Brazil, I fell from the main stage trying to dodge a kid while she was coming up the stage. Ended up with a bad sprained knee, went to the hospital twice in an ambulance, had an entire medical team assisting me throughout the rest of the comp and almost a week walking with crutches. It was super fun though

I'll quote you on that.
