Body parts through the handle

How many of you have had this lovely experience? I've almost put my arm through a few times, I'm finding ts brolls to be somewhat nasty at this.

Last night I almost put my arm through, instead it was just my hand/wrist. I'm thankful I only have a decent wrist sprain and nothing worse. Always one of the scarier moments to wakeboarding.

TS 3 gone bad. The bruise ended up spreading all the way to my wrist.

I've done this a few times on some of my bigger handle pass tricks where I'm really going for it, miss the handle and it goes up to my elbow...luckily have avoided injury...I think it's helped that my driver is aware and has cut the throttle when he has seen me go down...scary.

torn bicep wakeskating, bent the handle past 90 degrees, driver thought he hit a submerged boulder. my arm ended up a nice shade of black/brown/pruple/ yellow from my wrist to my shoulder and all my shirts were really tight on one arm.

I heard from an article somewhere that Parks Bonifay's worst crash was sticking his head threw the handle and getting dragged for a short distance.

A friend of mine put his arm through a handle, broke the handle in half, snapped his arm... it was ugly.
