Injury Report

[Shiven]

Okay, now I'm sure some of you guys have gotten some sort of injury from DDR. I know I have. So come here and report your worst injury, so others can get a laugh or two. Heck! I'll let you guys laugh at this one.

MY STORY:
I was teaching one of my friends how to do it, so I put MaxX Unlimited on Light. You know, just to show him how it's done. Well, I turn around to see if he's paying attention, then turn back to the screen, lose my balance, twist my ankle and fall.

Okay, I told mine, now how about you?

[Guardian Devil]

Well one time when i was doing Japan Re-Venge Somewhere in the middle of the song i lost control and i fell

[Luckadoo777]

ok ok, one time, while doing Legend of Max at my friends house, i looked over at him to see how he was doing, stepped on my foot and fell forward, hitting the TV and nearly knocking down the Entertainment Center

[revolution_frea]

well, I haven't had that many bad things happen to me with DDR, but I have gotten my hand stomped on by someone playin the game, and I tried to do songs on heavy, while eating donuts. I woulda been fine with the eating the donut part, and the heavy part, but I have really long hair and I wasen't using anything to hold it back at the moment so I started to choke on my own hair.....

[Arca]

Never tried DDR with a dead leg, I'll have to hit Nairb in the leg sometime to see if he can do it :p

[cracker fiend]

This one time I was playing around, so I categorized the songs by grabbing the bar and jump kicking the two arrow buttons with both my feet. I kinda slipped. I didn't get hurt, but I almost killed myself >.>

[Hawkeye]

Wow, I shoulda split this a long time ago, but I didnt notice heh...Anyway

SPLIT!

[Crazy Jamie]

I saw a classic the other day. Some guy was doing a variety of (not very difficult) songs, but holding onto the bar only half the time for some reason. Anyway to cut a long story short he lent back onto the bar one time and missed, resulting in a comical yet painful looking fall. That's what you get for bar raping.

[MA16]

I don't know if this counts but I got a persistant back problem, so the bar is my friend, though people still nag me as the serial bar rapist.

The bar = my one and only friend.

[Crazy Jamie]

How exactly does arching your back so you can hold on to the bar help your back problem? :hmm:

[Shiven]

Another question left unanswered...

Just checkin' on this thread since it's been a while :hmm:

Oh, and for any injuries on my part, I... got nothin'

[Rubberbandman]

i cut my foot on the RO metal pad because i wasn't wearing shoes :D

[pomeranianvampr]

the only injury worth metioning is not being to go up the stairs at my house. i had just completed Max 300 for the first time. (WOOT I got a D) oh and my dog attacting my feet while dancing. that was hurtful.....

[~Ricky~]

Well for me it would have to be I used to be a bar raper(still am sometime on hard songs) and I was doing dam dariam(sp) on heavy my friend was telling me stop the raping of the bar so I was like "ok" stopped it got half way through the song BIG group of girls come in to the arcade and I trip over my feet and smash in to the machine :'(

[chaos69]

Two of my cats attacked my feet while i was playing Max2...stepped on one of them as i lost my balance.

[TruthElixirX]

On my home buolt pad a freaking screw came up and cut my foot on it.-_-..I then tightened them all up. I also always use shoes at home now.

[Alice!]

One time at school I was free styling something (forgot the song) and clipped my foot on the edge of the pad doing a simple jump turn. I cut my foot and had to go get a bandage. When I go back they yelled at me for bleeding on the pad...and then I had to clean it out.

[cracker fiend]

As a result of running laps around Woodman Field and long challenge courses from Extreme 2(Specifically RMX of Truth), My entire lower body is killing me. 'specially my right foot. I'm practically limping... gotta take it easy. >_>

[~Lightning~]

snapped my ankle when i was kicked then slipped onto a concrete floor resulting in a lot of pain

[Depressed]

I have a couple of DDR related accidents...

I was trying to play MAXX UNLIMITED when I caught my foot on the bar. I fell and landed face first on the edge of the pad and I had to get stitches.

Another time was in the same arcade a few months later. I had just beaten SAKURA for the very first time. I was so happy that I started jumping up and down. I slipped on the up arrow and left a big crack on the game screen. The owner made me pay for the damage.:bashhead:

[cracker fiend]

Godamn Depressed. That must have sucked hard XD.

Why is this forum so dead?

[GreatGoldDragon]

Why is this forum so dead?
Not a clue. Wish I knew. Rhyme not intended. :P

As long as I'm here, I remember a couple times I've gotten injured playing DDR. First time is when I was playing a relatively fast song (I think) in the arcade, and I somehow managed to completely fall off the pad. I don't think I got any serious injuries, but it hurt. <_<
The other time I can remember is when I tried to do the knee-drop thing on the last note of the song I was playing, and accidentally banged my knee into one of the screwheads around the arrow instead. I then proceeded to do the same thing on the same knee on the next song. <_< I decided against trying it on the others, at least.

I was playing DDR: Mario Mix on gamecube on super hard difficulty. I can normally do it but my little poodle dog heard me and bit my leg. I fell and fractured my ankle.:faint:

[Nathan Frost]

i was playing the home edition (playstations rock) and there was no bar, and i was doing End of The Century and i woke up the next morning to find i pulled a muscle

I could AAA every song in that game with my penis.

Well... He DID post that like over 2 months ago. And even then, he said that it was months before that. So I'd assume he passed it over half a year ago. Besides, you can't get at someone for not being able to pass a song. It takes more time for some people.

Damn... What the hell arcade do you play in?

[ShadowFox]

Well, this isn't DDR but here goes.

I finally, FINALLY beat Bark at the Moon (Guitar Hero's answer to Maxx Unlimited) on Expert. I screamed with joy, and threw my arms into the air, forgetting about my running ceiling fan and my low ceiling...I couldn't play piano, GH, or actual guitar for a week...

On another note, I hit my friend in the head with the head of the controller while activating star power. I failed the song soon after as he hit me straight back.

And this isn't my injury, but while I was trying DDR for the first time, I got frustrated, and jumped up and down rather hard on all of the buttons, and kinda ruining it. I bought my friend a new one though. :)

[7nationarmy]

Uh this didnt happen to me but you now in the groove(arcade style)

Some guy had it very hard with features(blinking arrows,tornado confusion,waces,etc.) he almost had 1000 combos because he had all four arrows at once 9977 combos to be exact he was movin around like a toilet ,his glasses fell off resaulted in my getting my stomach crushed and almost breaking his neck...really hurt

[lilsaalex]

I have that soft mat that you use at home, so I had the really old type. And those mats move, I'm not kidding, they move around, especially when you jump a lot or press a lot of arrows. So I was doing a kind of fast song and there was finally about 3 seconds with no arrows so I myself back into the center of the mat. Bad move. When I was in the air performing jump onto the right and left arrow, I hit my foot on the table and fell over.

[MastaPepsi]

I was playing DDR at home on one of those plastic dance pads during a Saturday night, and we all KNOW that's an accident in the making right there. XD

Well, I playing an extremely slow song in front of my friends (I can't remember which song exactly, you'll see why in a second) and I was feeling a bit "daring" since I saw one of my buddies tear up one of the faster songs (Healing Vision, I believe it was) in style. Trying to show him up, I attempted to hit the last step of the song with my hand by doing a "C-Grab" (Basically, a handstand on one hand, while arching your legs and grabbing them with the other hand) on that particular step. However, during mid-action I realized that I can't even do a handstand, so I ended the song doing a faceplant. x_x Despite my horrible move, I was told that what I did was "very entertaining" to watch. Never again will I try to show off on a dance pad. >.>

XD I barely missed the note, but I still ended up with an "A" since slow songs are easy like that.

I was playing on the plastic mat at my friends house and I fall and hurt my knee but I refused to lose to him so I started playing using my hands and the funny part was I won that song.

[gamereality]

On the Wii once, I was playing golf. I swung the "Wii-Mote", and my hand hit my bedpost. That hurt!

[ultimatedingbat]

I have a few very good ones. The first being when i decided to try and show off and do Afronova backwards, only to realise that the mat was rolling up. A bit late when i slipped and landed o nthe floor chipping a tooth.

Once decided to play when i had my boots on in an arcade, bascally fell and twisted my ankle.

I also once played on the hard mat in bare feet and almost (although i think i did) broke my toe because i hit the mat too hard

[BAD WOLF]

Weirdly, I have a Wii-window related injury. Playing boxing, I obviously hadn't tightened the wrist strap enough. it flew off, smashing my front room window (!) and i cut myself on the glass clearing up the resulting mess.

Probably the most expensive gaming-related injury. a few hundred pounds to replace a window all thanks to Wii Sports (which I haven't played since)
