For me, just some cuts on my hands. I'm pretty safe when playing PIU.
Yea, I'm like Mother Teresa, except I pwn.

I have a 3/4 inch scar accross my right knee from sliding into the metal at the back of one center down arrows at the end of Foxy Lady... The metal doesn't round down around the outer edge. I did that the day after the tourny in Bloomington.

I've never been seriously injured, other than the arthritis that flares up in my right knee from time to time to remind me that I'm too old to be doing this any more.

As far as injuring my PRIDE, the worst would have to be when I fell completely off the DDR pad on the first steps of my first song, in Nashville TN in front of a large crowd of people that didn't even know me :oops: :oops:

Probably a compound injury is mine. Under my knee caps on both legs I have calcified spots which have happened from knee dropping during freestyles. Yeah...I don't feel anything in those spots anymore.

Other than that anything else have been screw corner-piece bruises/cuts in my knees and palms from misplaced hands and other stupidity (like the end of LIADZ Remix Nightmare).

I have suffered with many bruised knees to where I also don't feel them anymore and also, I have bent my fingers wrong coming down to hit the pad with my hands a few times. Recently I had a full combo on Soca Make Yu Ram Ram on nightmare and during the spin I slipped and busted my knee.... ouch...


Also, my brothers was hillarious. During the spin on Beethoven Virus, he slipped off the pad and busted his nose on the bar and knocked himself out... I couldn't stop laughing!!! :lol:

a couple days ago, I think it was Thursday, I was playing Another Truth on hard with no shoes, and at the very end you have to jump from front to back arrows like 5 times and my foot slid across one of the screws and I had a nice cut on the bottom of my foot

I do wear shoes normally, but my shoes are too new and they don't have any bend in them, when they get older I will use them but til then I do it in socks

DDR - A series of three bruises up my leg and butt after a spin gone wrong.

PIU - Nothing of note here. Hurt my hand with almost every plant...

There was that one close call, though, where I almost headslammed the machine when I slipped on a plant.
