What's the farthest you ever popped a puzzle?

[cubizh]

While trying to speedsolve a 6x6, a fast R move while the layers were slightly misaligned made three pieces slingshot out of the puzzle. One internal piece went flying off across the hall to a 6m distance. That's the farthest I've ever popped a piece.

I'm curious to know how far other people have popped pieces to, and in what kind of hardware.

I've popped about half the pieces on a 3x3 at the same time, but they didn't go very far.

I was at my friend's house playing with my dayan 2x2 to get a good opinion on the cube, and it violently exploded all over the room. I'm still missing an internal edge

I was forcing my cube to pop so I could see if the cube was at good tensions so my ZhanChi's edge and 2 corners flew off 1m each.

I was sitting in the passenger seat of my car whilst my Dad was filling it up, and I'd just got my new stickerless GuHong. I was trying to break it in, but the tensions were to loose and a piece flew out and bashed the windscreen. There was no mark or cop in the glass but I did sh*t myself for a second

SS6x6 here too.

Actually lost the piece, I know it went across the whole room though. Bought a new piece from cubicle. For two months I couldn't solve that puzzle.

I once let my Spanish teacher try out my old, loose Zhanchi.
She promptly popped every piece off except the centers, and one of the edges nearly hit someone in the face.
Also, almost all of the corners came apart

That edge though, flew from one corner of the classroom to the other, must have went 20 feet, if you count sliding

I've had pieces pop out and roll down 2 flights of stairs.

That's not the UWR page, Lucas. Try this:

I guess it doesn't count when you pop a 6x6x6 and the piece bounces from the table onto the terrace onto the hill, into the river and floats away, ruining my favorite 6x6x6 while in Malaysia?

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

I popped my sticker-less guhong in a movie theater, it fell down 6 rows of seats and took an hour to find.

My sq-1 is the worst for violent pops, i once cleared roughly 2m with an edge pop before

Hah! I remember that; I just tried to look for it, but wasn't able to find.

Now I feel old...

 

[Ross The Boss]

well, my zhanchi once popped and bounced off my computer screen and hit me in the eye. it probably would have gone pretty far.

You win.

I popped a Lingyun edge into a cup of coffee, although it wasn't far away. There were pieces all over the desk and floor - that cube just hates staying together.
