Has anyone ever had any "dj" related injuries?

a few months back i sliced my left leg open on a milk crate bled pretty bad.......i didnt notice till after my set though

and yesterday i got a huge ass papercut on my middle finger (left hand) as i was searching thru one of my record bags

i had to keep on licking it so i wouldnt get blood on my records/dj gear

does it count if you were a dj getting ready for a party? last nite me and my friend cleared out his house (basically all of it) for a house party and in the process i received serveral large bruises and a squished index finger on my left hand

Ever had a spin when your parents are away at like 8am. Just wearing your dressing gown and drinking a coffe, pick a record out of its sleeve carry it over to the turntable but then drop it and the side of the vinyl hits you on your big toe, BANG. Its absoloutly kills, imagine a record falling like 1 metre sideways onto your toe, done it lodes of times now and it fuckin yuks !

bad back is very common, i have nutted the shelves to the side my dex many a time now

my right ear hurts cuz i have my headphones on really loud!!! fuckin hope i havent damaged my ear drum!!

when i saw tiesto live, he slammed his head agains one of the disco lights accedently

lol

the only thing that has ever happened to me is that sometimes my thumbs get sore from hitting the phone/line switches when im practicing scratching and stuff. but i fixed the problems by covering the edges of the switches with blue electrical tape

ive torn the cuticle skin on my nails to shit from whipping through my records really fast ...bleeding everywhere from every finger

when i spun at WEMF my back was cramped for a week afterwards because the tables were really low...like i could've flopped my nuts onto the table and still have to bend down

Thats has happened to me before in the early hours before! Really really painful

Has only happened once tho

paper cuts, ear damage the ussual stuff, electric shock ones cause the tables werent' grounded!

I've got a continuous cut on my finger from the paper sleeves in record covers and a bad back cos my tables are too low. I hopped them up on bricks but it's stil not high enough. I also get headaches from having the volume in the cans too loud.

I also have deep emotional scars from every time the needle has slipped off the arm rest and bounced up and down on the strobe dots on the platter edge. Of course my reaction is not to pick up the tone arm straight away, but rather pull a really bad face and scream, waving my hands in the air

never had paper cuts, but i do get a piercing pain in lower back a lot... usually cuz i'm tall (6'6") and most of the dj setups are too low for me, so i have to bend down most of the time... ((((

one time i mixed for 5-6 hours straight at a party on such a set up, and after i was done, i couldn't stand up straight, i had to sit down for a while...

it sucks!!!

thus far my only DJ related injury came from trying to move heavy equiptment.

ear damage, on my right the beat is lower than left....

ummm....once I held my finger right up to the illuminating light for many seconds and it started to get really hot...

but apparently the pain stopped when I removed my finger...

so ahh I guess that counts?





No, but seriously, I think the most common (and most *tragic*) dj-related injury is ear damage / degraded hearing ability.

pussys....

yeah that's why "Sasha" stopped spining for a couple months to recover cause his hearing was going down the drain

Let me see.. for me would be lower back issues. From standing to much.
Also, I have my records right behind me on carts, and I have to bend down and get them. Well they were to close to the table of where my tts are, cause as I was getting up smacked by back into the table. Painful and also the needle jumped and scratched that record.
hmm... also , currently I have something called metal burn (not rug burn but same concept). I've torn off like a small layer of skin on my left index finger, i cant see it, but it hurts like hell, kind of like a paper cut. I got it from slowing down the platter on my turntable too much.

usually when I do a party, my lower back hurts after a while if the table is too low or something, my legs hurt from all that standing up, and usually my neck hurts from pressing the headphone against my head with my shoulder

oh! and once I did this party in our local water park, and it was a really hot day (the party was from 10:00 to 15:00, sunny weather, about 40C) and I played with my shirt off, and I only put protection cream ONCE about 10 minutes before I started playing (I was focused only on the set from there....... I didn't even feel the heat and the sun...... and it was HOT!!!)
and after the party, I was completely burnt all over!!!!! and it really sucked cause my whole body hurt for like 1-2 weeks...... dammit!!!
does that count????

ugh no joke man. im a tall dude and have the same problem, if the decks aren't high enough i have to bend over. i try to spread my legs farther to make my height less but then my hips and thighs get screwed up. it's no good when the decks are at waist level
