wow quite ganas also are u ppl experiences...
my worst was mid last year when my band was practicing for a youth event... one of the last few practices. there was one part where u know, the musicians will stop totally for while (leaving just the vocals) then bang back in on the 1st beat... i jumped, and landed on time, but i hit the strings probably at the wrong angle, took out the high E string in the process and cut my thumb. ouch. fortunately it was only during practice. I didn't dare try any more funny stuff since then... plus shortly after that, I got my RG1570... so more sayang guitar di hahhaa.
Occationally I too poke my fingers on the ends of the strings at the tuners... then I started restringing with the ball end into the tuners... no more accidents. and d'addario coloured ball ends FTW!

how do you restring it with the ball end at the tuners ?my worst was mid last year when my band was practicing for a youth event... one of the last few practices. there was one part where u know, the musicians will stop totally for while (leaving just the vocals) then bang back in on the 1st beat... i jumped, and landed on time, but i hit the strings probably at the wrong angle, took out the high E string in the process and cut my thumb. ouch. fortunately it was only during practice.

so, many "incidents" during re-string.here's my share of story, my 1E broke and as usual i change it, what happen is, whenever i am close to the correct tune, it broke, since the new string broke,i change again lo...what to do, lucky i have 5 spare 1E strings. but, the mysterious thing is that i broke all 5 spare 1E strings... all of them are kind of branded strings also,from yamaha and gibsons. since i need the string fixed quickly,i go to the nearest book store and buy a couple 1E strings that cost rm0.50 each. and guess what, it didnt break...
that's my encouter during re-string.
my encounter while playing... there was once when i demonstrate some noisy songs to my frens using kapok. guess what... the string didnt burst,but the bridge did.... the guitar bridge brokeout from the body and went swinging around the guitar, lucky didnt hit anyone.
for those who havent share,have fun sharing~

i sweat a lot too when i play but these elixir strings are tough. more than 1 month liao i think still shiny by the 2nd week its all black alr, guess i sweat too much
for me.... i restrung the wrong string
took the B string and strung it to the high E. then had to take it out and string to the B, too short so i thought it wont stay in tune but surprisingly its working like normal
