Its absoloutly kills, imagine a record falling like 1 metre sideways onto your toe, done it lodes of times now and it fuckin yuks !

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.

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????
