Here's  a tip:

Make sure your ceilings are high enough for you to swirl your saber!!  (DUH!!)

I was swirling my saber yesterday and i hit the sealing a couple of times and of course was only checking if the saber was OK.
A few hours later the "female parental unit" came home and started yelling at me and i didn't know what she was talking about, until she showed me.

I now have a couple of one inch dents and holes in our Drywall ceiling.

That's funny.  When I was a kid I would always get yelled at hitting the walls!  ;D

[PLO KOON]

That's bad...

hehehe poor DutchVader lol

Man that happened to me last week when I was just fooling around with my Luke ESB. The ceiling had no drywall though, and the blade just smashed into the studs.  I was sure I must have broken something, but all appears to be fine.  These things really are pretty durable.

Gladly, my house is very tall and I swing it in the living room and the ceiling is about 15-25 high

This happened to me but luckily nothing happened to the sealing ;D

I always have to practive my spins on my living room cause the ceiling is high, too bad I can't have privacy cause my room's ceiling is low.

Did something similar the day i got mine:

Stood in the center of my room, admiring the beauty of MR greatness!

A few gentle swings back and forth, a lil spin, then a faster spin...and then......a shower of glass, all over my head.

Had just connected the end of my saber with my light fitting, smashed the casing, and the bulb.

Oops :D

[Duncan33]

LOL, I know the feeling man.
That's why I had to get the ceiling light with the durable dome cuz I shatter lightbulbs soooo many times. Bleh, I still get hurt from the small glass that I missed when I cleaned up. Heh, actually I remember one time at school when I was practising with a broomstick-made lightsaber. I spun it so fast that it zipped out of my hand and broke one of the classroom windows on the ground floor.

[jack3auer]

broke a window,

wow be careful man, you sound like a bit of a liability  ;)

[GioFX]

lol, a common experience .... my ceiling is solid concrete and is low (two meters because my wife putted "my gadget room" on the second stage) ... anyway every time I take a sabre from the "handsome stand" I repeat myself "be careful...be careful...not this spin...be..." and SPAM! another clash of Vader onto the ceiling, I wonder really why the end cap is again firmly in his place lol  ;D

[General Beavis]

I did a similar thing a few years back with my habro Vader saber. I've got quite a low ceiling in my room with a very rough paint texture, and there I was happily spinning and twirling when all of a sudden... CRUNCH. I managed to graze the tip of my saber quite badly into the ceiling leaving a good two inches of red plastic scuffed across the top of my room.

Not a mistake I intend to repeat with my FX sabers!

[GioFX]

cool !!! you remember me I have again a "vintage" hasbro green luke sabre (bought ten years ago I think .... ) hey it's again working!!!!
