I've had a friend get a small splinter in his eye from his opponenet's shinai. His eye swelled up very quickly, but the doctor couldn't find anything at all until his second visit the same day, when he got a high powered lens out and found a very small sliver of bamboo.

Luckily his vision was not impaired, but it very well could have been.

Alex, do you check beginnners' shinai before or while you train with them? They'll learn pretty quickly when you refuse to train with them until they sort their shinai out.
