I nearly died the last time I played volleyball. Some chick spiked it down and it hit my neck. knocked the wind out of me.

Yay for you brit!

ouch! im sorry! erm...............................i have experirenced that before....................except, i was the one hitting the ball!

When you're playing volleyball, the ball shouldn't hit your wrist.

Bumping = Forearm
Volleying = Fingertips
Smashing = Lower part of your palm (near your wrist, but not your wrist)

erm, yeah, pretty much. you use your forearms for bumping and you arent supposed to swing them. um, fingertips for setting which can hurt or jam your fingers sometimes if you dont do it properly. and spiking(my specialty lol) i use my whole hand; as big as it will open.......

I know, but I end up bending my wrist. Note that the ball hits my fingers.

I don't really see how volleying can hurt the fingers. It's never hurt me... even when I've done it wrong.
Bumping hurts sometimes if it hurts hard or in a certain way.. or if you do it wrong.
Smashing, you can basically do how you want, as long as it gets or the net. But you're supposed to do it with your hand open, firm and hit it above your wrist, on your palmy thing. My coach is not picky on this, at all. He does not care, nor does he bother practicing it (well we practice, but he doesn't tell us what we're doing wrong)

by volleying, do you mean setting? as in seeting it up high for your hitters to smash?

Yes.
Though, we don't save that move for just setting. We set by either bumping or volleying.
Volleying is incredibly helpful for putting it deep in the corners, or deep across.

oh! gotcha! it can hurt your fingers many ways. if its comin to hard at you and you use your fingertips to get it in the air, the pressure of the ball can bend your fingers back.

Oh yeah.
I don't think of that because it's never happened to me.
Volleying is my buddy
