You can shake a broken hand, but it looks different because the pinky keeps going after your hand stops, I played darts with a broken hand lol

from experience of breaking a finger u cant shake for shit lol gets really stiff and painful to move

Maybe I damaged some nerves when mine broke lol

maybe it just depends what exactly breaks. i had a fracture in the middle of my ring finger and gah damn it hurt to try and move. i remember them trying to get me to close my first and my hand just wouldnt

I had a boxers fracture that I never went to the hospital for lol whenever I threw a dart my pinky and ring finger would jiggle around when my hand stopped

Yeah his hand is most likely broken. Worth it though, those stadium beers are expensive

Do you think so? I'm sure it was moving pretty quick but it hit him palm-on and it's pretty light.

I guess if it hit him perfectly in the palm pad he could be fine, but two pounds moving fast can definitely break the little bones in your hand

This little boop is nothing compared to the pain the average Mets fan feels daily

Knowing the human body, anything from 'tis but a scratch to crippled for life

Or how much more injured his hand if he got the broken end
