Pool is a painful game.

My friend walked into somebodies tip and poked him really bad in the eye!!! Blood everywhere and he had to go to the hospital to get checked on!! Total accident!! He was just walking between the tables and this guy turns on his heel and WHAM!!! Straight into his eye-ball

I kept in touch with him throught this ordeal adn every thing is fine btu MAN!!! I was sure he lost his eye on this one. Even to this day i watch out for the players that use that annoying body jerking ENGLISH!!! Never know if they'll wing the tip into your eyes!!!

In our local room, there is a guy who is really bad at swinging his cue sideways while shooting and again while the balls are still rolling-sort of a double threat.

We have learned not to approach the table or him until he has returned to his seat and put his house cue down. He doesn't know that he is doing it-that might be the scariest part.

It would be funny if it weren't so dangerous.

Be careful out there.

When I was 19 I used to jump up really bad. So one time I shot and lifted the cue up so much that it went into the ceiling fan above me. The cue shot back down on the table and came back up and hit me square in the forehead and knocked me out.

When I came to Airport Steve had me stuck ANOTHER game on the way to getting about 17 ahead at $10 a game.

And one more:

In Holland I was playing in a tournament and I had just racked the balls and stood back against the wall behind the table. The breaker winds up and launches the cue ball at warp speed towards the rack. The cueball skips OFF the top of the one and comes FLYING at my face. I move my head slightly to the side and the cue ball BURIES itself in the drywall behind me. Literally the cue ball was stuck in the wall next to my head.

That explains a lot.
Who's Airport Steve?

Don't often post,

but this one enters the realm of disbeleif...
Was shooting in a dive bar in Lowell, MA and literaly broke such that the cue ball went sailing into a guy 's pint glass and left him holding a complete circle of jagged glass in his hand and standing on a wet foot.
