Yes this can happen, especially if you drop it on a hard floor like concrete. Matthew Garrett’s ring sets are VERY sturdy and tend not to break so easily when dropped. It CAN happen though so best to take care of them!
Nice job. Michael. I was wondering. I do the crash move too and Want to star borrowing people's rings. But not sure if I should. I've heard that it's risky, because you might damage the ring. Scratch it, lose a inset gem or whatever. Being metal ring against against a ring might damage it. Do we then just borrow a men's plain band and not a women's which is more delicate with the stones and thinner on the ring itself. Your thoughts? Thanks. Brian Smedley
Hey Brian. Thank you for the love! As for borrowing the ring MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LIABILITY INS JUST IN CASE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING OF THE SORT. Whew… ok now that that is out of the way. There are three things to look out for when crash linking a borrowed ring: 1. Is there a stone? 2. Is the band solid? 3. Is the band thin and delicate. If there is a stone make sure you crash the opposite side. Not on the stone itself. Obv. The band needs to be solid or it may fall on the floor. Make sure you have a firm grip and don’t do this near the edge of a ship or somewhere the ring could get lost if dropped. If the band is thin the crash link should be gentle and silent. The 2 rings should not even touch during the CL. If a gent has a thicker ring that is better. Personally I avoid linking a wedding ring or something irreplaceable all together but again, if you choose to make sure you can afford to cover cost of replacing/repairing it if it gets lost/dammaged. :) Hope this helps!
James Casey this is a modification on a switch by Kim Silverman. The original is taught in “Ultimate Ninja Ring” by Shoot Ogawa. I teach the switch as performed here in my project “Ninja+ Sessions.”
