haha, I get hit by one of those too, it was a sneak attack. it was nothing compared to what i think was a giant chuck of ice that slammed into my head at mastodon though! I can't complain though because there were a lof of bloodied people in the mosh pit that were worse off than me
I got hit by a couple frisbees, not in the head though.
However, I did get a full water bottle hurled at my head while waiting around for Kanye. I turned around and did my best Austin Powers imitation: "Oww! That really hurt! Who throws a bottle? Honestly!"
ya, i have no idea who thought of the bright idea to run past a large crowd and throw a frisbee into it from behind, but it spawned a whole slew of them throughout the weekend, i felt bad for the recipients of the toss, but often times i couldn't do anything!

During Phil I watched a single glowstick go all the way from the back. Until it finally reached its destination. the back of some dudes head. I watched him pick up the glowstick, and RUN to the source of them all...and then confront them.
I was kinda like..eh it is a festie, but they were throwing the thick ones w/ a string that you tie around your neck.
got wanged with a frisbee during oar. Drunk dumbass who couldnt catch just grabs it and fires it off without so much as an apology. And yea I have an xbox and a Budweiser towel/washcloth. and they were so handy during the weekend.
Not my head - but once in my ankle and once in the middle of my chest. Neither time did I get a "sorry" genuine or otherwise.
That's all that annoyed me - I understand that getting hit by a frisbee is a risk one takes when walking around at Bonnaroo. I tried to avoid them and walked around people playing, but a quick "sorry" would be nice, you know?
The guys who hit my ankle did say (to each other and not to me) "hey, gotta watch out for ankles!" so they knew they hit me.

At the Raconteurs, I was strollin/dancin' my way back to my friends from the porties, when my eyes begin to notice a rapidly moving object flying straight towards my head...
then...
recognition
... as I snapped to attention and like something out of the matrix I ducked and felt it breeze over my head.
I was really impressed and proud of my reflexes there... I mean, given my state

I didn't get hit by any of those frisbees...and by some stroke of luck I didn't get pegged by a glow stick at the Widespread set either. Actually I was partially responsible for a cute girl getting hit by a poi ball at WS...This guy ran up to me and HAD to play catch with the poi ball I had...our game of catch quickly escalated into us throwing the poi ball as high as we possibly could then catching it. One of his throws went haywire and it bonked this girl right in the head. I apologized profusely and begged forgiveness....she was cool with it, those things are pretty light. Eventually we broke the stupid thing and that was that...good times.
Yeah, the frisbees were excessive this year. It's like "Couldn't you guys toss the frisbee between more than two people at a time?" There were thirty-five games of frisbee taking place betwixt seventy people over at The Other Stage. It was excessive in a time when we should be conserving. Think of the planet, people!!!!!!

I tend to be cautious and pay attention to where I'm going in a crowd so frisbees don't really bother me. i treat them just like a person (in a crowd, I mean).
The way i figure it those guys are just trying to enjoy their experience as well.
