Just curious but has anyone ever made those kinds of legendary drops that you never stop hearing about? For example, my freshman year I was practicing a toss on the sidelines before halftime at a football game...and didn't catch it. Instead, it fell on one of our props (a mirror of all things) and shattered it. We barely had another one to replace it. sweatdrop Most people didn't know because they were still practicing but after the game my captain turns around in her bus seat and yells "so I just want to know...WHO broke the mirror right before the game?" I had to fess up in front of everyone... xd

we were doing a run through at the end of a practice, and the first piece of equipment i used was a sabre. the first toss was a quad, and we did a sort of attitude jump into it. so my foot was in front of me. the toss was slightly under-rotated (but i tried to let it rotate a bit more and catch it lower down than i should) but then the hilt hit my big toe. at first it didn't even hurt, but i looked down and my toenail had come almost all the way off. eventually, i made it to the emergency room where they were uber busy so i was there until 4:30am and i got 2 shots in my toe and they took off the nail and i got 5 stitches cuz it wouldn't stop bleeding. and everyone still talks about it (cuz my nail still looks deformed) except in front of the newbies we don't wanna scare.
oh and last year, the whole rifle line except for one had, at some point, gotten the exact same injury. rifle hit in the right (i think) eyebrow that started bleeding and now they all have scars.

When I first got my Airblade, I was so freaking excited. I ran out to the front yard to play with it. I thought it would be just like a rifle....it wasn't. I tried a toss and I totally caught it....with my forehead. I had a lump on my forehead for a week. Note to self: Airblades are heavier and will not go up in the air as easily as a rifle. They will also hurt a lot more if you decide to catch it with your head.

When I was first starting out on rifle, I took it home to practice technique and whatnot with it. I started doing tosses, tossed what I think was a quad, and it ended up hitting my ankle. Another time I messed up my thumb, but it got better. No head injuries yet, though!

Hmm. Lessee...
My sophomore year, I had a big ol' toss on the company front, followed by a wrist extension.
So I did the toss, la-di-dah. But I somehow did the wrist extension the wrong way and BLAM. I hit the Trumpet section leader right in the stomach.
Oh, then there was the time that I almost hit the Brass instructor head on...Oops.

I am not in colorgaurd but we had a terrible accident in last night finals performance. I as a drumm er was in the back of the band so I saw it all. A tuba player (senior) was a step to far right and the color gaurd (sophomore) was about five steps to far to the left. She swept the flag down like planned but not part of the show was the tuba player's 'place place' on top of her flag. Unfortuately, the lack of looking where she was supposed to where she would've noticed this incident she pulled the flag and out senior tuba player had her feet swept out from under her. Her arm is now in a sling. It was so shocking I almost stopped playing.

On my 2nd try the butt of the rifle came around and hit me right in the middle of my face. My glasses were literally stuck between my eyes. That was 3 years ago, and I still have the scar to prove it. O.o

I will forgive but I won't forget
Ohh my...
Well. For starters. I was learning rifle for my first year since we only had a guard of eight, and...I tried to throw a single (I was such a newbie >_<) and it landed on my nose, then on my instructors toe. It was horrible.
And I hope you know, you've lost my respect.

For me? Not much, my rifle was carried away in the wind and landed far off the sideline, and I got a huge bruise on my arm throwing a blade quad for the first time. But a girl in my guard got hit in the head by another girl's sabre during practice. It cut her head open and she had to get twenty staples.

Last year my best friend in guard took out a trumpet player, and this year (last friday actually, 11/5) one of our members chipped a tooth by catching a flag with her face
