"Superstar DJ Sasha has hospitalised a girl after throwing a record into a crowd at a recent gig in Cardiff. The freak accident occurred at long running club night Time Flies in the middle of a four-hour set.
Witnesses reported seeing the DJ become so frustrated with a skipping record that he threw it into the air, only for it to bounce off the roof before hitting the girl in the face. His set had to be cut short by an hour because Sasha was so distraught about the accident. However there were unconfirmed rumours that bouncers physically removed Sasha from the DJ booth after the incident.
A grave apology posted by Sasha on his website said: "I am writing to say how sorry I am about the accident that happened at my Cardiff gig on Saturday. As you have probably heard, the record I was playing kept sticking, and the third time it happened I just picked up the record and threw it up in the air. I think it must have hit the overhead bar canopy and gone forward into the crowd, where it unfortunately hit the girl."
He continued: "As soon as I realised what had happened I was completely freaked out and couldn’t continue playing. I apologise to the rest of the crowd for cutting my set short, but I was too shaken. I just want to reiterate that it definitely wasn’t thrown at the crowd with any kind of malice. I deeply regret causing any injury, and am desperately trying to get in touch with the girl to she how she is doing."

If that were to happen to me I would be like "sweet, a vinyl !" and I would take it home as a souvenier. I mean a vinyl couldn't do too much damage, especially since it bounced off the ceiling. I can see if it was straight on and it has a spin on it. Well if the girl was really hurt, that sucks. But you know how little accidents get exaggerated !!
whoua
even if a records doesnt seem dangerous if someone threw me one in the face i would surely feel pain

have you ever had a vinyl in your hands? those things are heavy. and thrown from a far place will surly cut you. even a cd wich is not have at all could give you a cut.

I had a similar experience to Charlie, they do hurt, well it depends on the label that is selling the vinyl! but some are super thick!
