      Let’s say 40% of people in the US will use a q-tip at some point during the course of a year. That’s 136 million people. 12.5K injuries would be .009%.

      So again, rules written for a tiny percentage of people too fucking stupid to know not to jam them in as far as they can. And yea, kids are included in that. A lot of kids are fucking stupid.

      None of this means that q-tips are remotely dangerous for anyone with even a small amount of common sense.

        Where are you getting these numbers from? At least source your shit. You’re just jumping on the same train as everyone else cause I look like an easy target. Here is a source for q-tip injuries. Thats a lot of children you just blatantly grouped together claiming they have no common sense. At least pull some research for your tangential attack that has nothing to do with proper DDR machine usage.

          Lol, that source is not for q-tips injuries. It’s for furniture or TV’s tipping over. Did you just see the word “tip” and run with it?
