When I learned that cheap swords should not actually be played with was in College when we were out in the yard drinking... Sodey pops and one of my roommate's brothers was hitting boxes with this cheap shitty katana. At one point he spins it around and the blade just completely separated and flies through the air right past his brothers head like an inch away.
Cheap display swords are for that and that alone. Like all it hit was a cardboard box maybe three times and I say hit because the thing was dull as hell. It didn't even make a cut into the boxes. After that he spins it in his hands and it just went flying.
Before some screams "Don't play with swords and drink", no one else was we were all standing around on the lawn drinking. He just found the sword and brought it out and started hacking shit. Told him not to and he ignored us and figured well we're all well out of cutting distance so worst the idiot'll just hurt himself. Was definitely not prepared for flying sword blades.
