I've always wanted to try this sort of thing, though since I'm a rather clumsy person, it's never actually happened. Though I do feel that, if I ever would, I'd be a little more prepared having read this. I'm sorry about your hand.
PS: You've got a great figure! :)
I can attest that I am also clumsy. This has possibly helped a bit, though.
I'm blushing now, thank you. I'm not so enamoured by my skinny spider legs, but as they say, you only want what you haven't got.
