Pole accidents?
-
Sprained my intercostal muscles on my right side slipping out of a twisted ballerina. It was the worst pain I ever have felt in my life, like I was being stabbed in the side. There was popping and grinding sounds too. It was so bad I went to the hospitol but they refused to xray me because I had no health insurance so I still don’t know if anything was broken. I could hardly get out of bed for three weeks 🙁
And most recently(December) I bashed my foot into my coffee table just doing a simple spin and fractured it, but it healed pretty quick and was just annoying. …word to the wise, move furniture when poling! -
Was feeling pretty strong in my shoulder mount, (drunken poling lol) then caterpillar-ed up and thought heyyy let’s go for an Ayesha (for the first time)-an epic faceplant/cartwheel down and I ended up breaking my toe 🙁 lol word to the wise: don’t try new tricks, scratch that. Don’t even pole when intoxicated lol

I popped my rib out doing jades wrong!! 🙁 It sucked. It's finally better but it hurt like a bitch anytime I moved for about a week. I also have a super painful pulled hamstring behind my right knee, I am a mess. And I have a competition coming up!

I broke my middle toe the first time I tried to dismount from a Gemini & I have hurt my rib a few times from jade… Thank god that’s the worst of it for me 🙂

Messing around being a show off i tried to do a headstand Against a flagpole that was wood….yea the bottom was rotted at the ground and it started to fall…my boyfriend trying to save me caught it and broke his hand and wrist 🙁

First time I tried butterfly on spin. No mats as I considered it mastered, at least on static. Stupid Newton and his laws, he pulled my hands right off the pole and I fell straight down, tucked my head and landed on my shoulder. Hurt like hell but nothing was damaged except my pride.

Fell out of CAR (this seems to be a popular one) and landed on my shoulder. Just sore for a few days.
Fell when attempting Scorpio handstand, in heels. No injury.
Rug burn on my knuckle falling out of Superman attempt. Lucky I didn't break my finger.
Severe strain of Erector Spinae and Quadratus Lumborus after Allegra (another popular one). 8 weeks of healing.
Tore extensors and flexors (in forearm) when first learning spins. Body spun, but hand was overgripping and didn't move. Thought I broke my arm!

I've only had one accident. (funny enough, it happenede during the only time, I went against all safety rules) The first time I did my SM. It was at my party at my house. I was wearing full clothes, not warmin up and I'd had one drink. I was so eager, that I forgot I shouldnt place the pole on the left side of my neck, because of a beauty mark. I did the SM for the first time, and I was on top of the world so it wasnt untill someone shouted "there's blood all over your shirt!!!" I looked, and I saw it. Blood was everywhere, because the pressure of the pole, had ripped my beautymark to pieces! Needless to say, almost everyone attending my party, were doctors, who all wanted to see,if it was cancer.. It was POLE .. 😀 But Im never doing it, on that side again!

im rather lucky. i only had one near fsll from a catetpillor. i just slipped n managed to regrip before face went into floor. scsred me for months only got it bl thos week. i came across the aryivle of the girl who fell out of CAR n that has scared me. i no longer do this trick as i think its the easiest to fall from. plus i have never felt 100% safe in it so i chose for my safty to leave it be n live to pole more years. if i ever want to get into it i do it from handstand. i feel the top of my legs sre just not big enough to give me a secure hold. i acturly think this is a very dangerouse trick for me so my safty will come first. i can do this trick n have lots but i have never felt confident in it xxx
