I just pinned in my right glute and for the first time ever, as I was taking the pin out blood spurted out from the site a fair distance. Does this mean I've hit a vein, and if so is this bad. I've never had this happen before.

You are good to go. It happens from time to time. I have found if you pull out slow and cover it with your alcohol swab and rub right away, it rarely even bleeds afterwards.
U hit a wee vein thats bad mate you will probs lose about 2 pints of blood you will never be able to pin there again lol.
Am taking the piss mate just keep pressure on it for a wee minute it's sound.
OP: You're fine.
It happens.
I remember the first time it happened to me my GF was pinning my glute and she nearly fainted very funny needless to say she won't do it anymore lol
I love pinning the quads and I do have it happen every once in awhile,Nothing to worry about.
Wait till u get "the cough" you'll think ur dying
-TroN-
Just remember to ALWAYS aspirate (you know, pull back alittle once your in to see if blood comes in the syringe) so you dont inject into a blood vein.
better safe, than dead, I always say
