"The main problem is that we are all stupid and are trying to get every last pound out of the shirt (instead of getting stronger) and we are risking this type of injury rather than wearing a shirt one size bigger."

I couldn't agree more. Prior to the attempt that ended up on my neck, I twisted the crap out of my sleeves to tighten the shirt down. I'd twisted them before, but never this much. Did twisting the sleeves more cause this particular attempt to shoot back and land on my neck? I don't know, especially since my handler said they actually didn't end up being that much more torqued than the attempt before. I do know if I hadn't twisted the sleeves at all, it wouldn't have shot back when I got off of the bubble.
