Well I had a point break and shoot into my finger. 2 tendons severed and a third possibly cut too. Hand surgery in a few days. So let it be known that gloves aren't thick enough, watch your hand placement/point hold too.

Dalton Knapper:
Sorry to hear that. I hope you recover quickly.

Zuma:
Good gracious. When you feel like it could you explain what went
hay wire? Could help us not do what you unfortunately did.
Prayin you have a complete recovery.

bowmo:
Ouch! Making glad I use my custom glove! Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Tracker0721:
Holding the point in my left hand, bopped it with my right and I guess my hand was cupped putting my pinky under the point. Drove the bopper through and hit high breaking the point and sending the point into my pinky. It was luckily 40 degrees so my hands were already numb and I didn't really feel it. I knew as soon as the bopper touched it was too much force and too high. Didn't bleed for a few minutes so I got to examine my split tendons before deciding to go to the hospital over the jake and the neverland pirate bandaides I almost used.
