Sometime I kicked my self in some nerv doing some Whirly-trick... I couldn't stand up for a while.
And now my knee is fucked!!!
Footbag is fucking xtreme sport!!
...
Shredders should wear helmets! Also take footbag insurances, one for a sesh costs only 79,98$ if you call now, folks!! And that's not all, you also get a licence to do Toe kicks on your free time if you call during the next 30 minutes!!!!!
i had stress fracktures in my legs from shin splints bc i didnt rest them. few bloody noses from kneeing my self in the face, and a few good kicks to the nuts when i was learning paradons. i never fall un less im doing something off a ledge or if im on poor surface. i sliped an feel in to a ditch at grass in the woods. footbag is really safe im pretty sure, if you know your limits an take time to stretch. as for convinceing your girl, if jons post dont help you do that i dont know what will.
Oh, I just remembered after reading Zach's post that for a couple of times when I've done a pendulum I've fallen to my face because my support foot slipped. I almost sprained my wrists*, which is something I've never heard that has happened to some other footbag player.
*can you say "sprained my wrists"? Is that English?
Oh, I had an awesome bail today. I was trying to hit flip whirr and caught my legs together and totally wiped myself out on the pavement. It's ok though, the bleeding has almost stopped...
I twisted my ankle in february while trying to hit a grifter... I kicked my supporting leg with the other one... I thought i´m gonna piss in my pants... it hurted like hell and then 1 week after I went to the danish footbag camp, though I barely could do a clipper with my right foot...
I twisted the same ankle twice since then... (the last was 2 weeks ago...)
but now I´m playing again... (my ankle is still fucked up)

You should stop doing it! Seriously the pain is not worth it at all. Not only will your ankle be sore - maybe for the rest of your life - your footbag ability will be held back because of it. I injured my ankle in December 2003 and I'm only now starting to work on a lot of flipside clipper tricks - most of which I was better at before I injured my ankle than I am now. Heck I attempted my first superfly since I hurt my ankle last week - and superfly isn't that hard a move for me at all on my strong side. Injuries really suck and the time you spend not playing now will be really good for you.
I know it sucks to go without footbag for a long time - I get really stressed when this happens - but it's definitly worth it.
