When I was 8 or so, I decided I wanted to have one of these soccer balls with a rubber band that you can strap to yourself, so it comes back when you kick it.
So I DIY’d it.
I took some kite string, attached one end to me, knotted a small nail to it on the other end and stuck the nail into the valve of a soccer ball.
Kicked the ball gently, the string made “plongggg” and the ball rolled away.
Me, being annoyed that it didn’t work, picked up the string, followed it to the end, only to realize the small nail stuck in my upper arm. Only half a cm or so, if I had to guess.
Pulled it out, luckily it didn’t bleed noticably or hurt. So I never told anyone about it
