This is pretty much what I did while making a delivery outside a hospital a few hours ago, though my fall was way less graceful than this. I tripped over a high curb and then did that running thing where you get closer and closer to the ground the further you go. If I had just let myself hit the ground right when I tripped it wouldn’t have been as bad, but I was sure I could recover (spoiler alert: I couldn’t). I was running directly toward a brick wall, and I put my arms out and pushed off of the wall as I hit it, rolling away from the wall . I’m lucky I didn’t bang my head on the concrete. I scraped up and bruised both knees badly and have some road rash on my wrist.
Fortunately I just bought a bottle of Johnnie Walker Green Label, so he’s helping me cope right now. Really well. I’m just glad that because of the time of day and the entrance I used, barely anyone saw me do it.

I was leaving my apartment to go to the brewery the other day. THere are 2 sets of 5 steps on the walkway down from my porch. I completely missed the last step of the first set and just....accepted my fate.
So yea, I also ha d a fall that just looked like I 110% gave up and accepted that I was going to eat it. The beer I had did make the pain go away.

Bloody hell, are you okay?
Did you get your wounds cleaned when you were able to?
Be careful.

It’s amazing how the attempted recovery can actually make things worse. Years ago I had an accident on a Razor scooter that I made worse by putting my fists out in order to minimize the impact. Because of the position of my hands I ended up breaking at least two ribs just as I was coming down with a cold and my annual case of bronchitis. I would have been better off with the scraped palms and faceplant , because every single breath for the next few weeks was a new lesson in pain.
Then there was my boss’s complaining about how slow and uncooperative I had suddenly become because I wouldn’t leave my desk and go crawl around in the belly of aircraft or help toss bags when the ramp was short-handed. Uh, yeah, thanks for the sympathy...

I completely wiped out on an ice patch this morning at work. 3 awkward attempts at gaining my balance were in vain and gravity sent me to a cold hard concrete embrace.

At least it happened at a hospital?

Ouch. Glad it mostly bruised up the ego.
My falls are mostly after I change my bike cleats and instead of clipping out of a track stand, I stupidly topple over with agonizing slowness right next to a bunch of cars rolling their eyes at me. I feel like such a dumbass.

I’m sure it exists, LOL. Just look for the guy stumbling toward a brick building and then pushing off to do a barrel roll.

This morning is a bit rougher. Both shoulders and my right wrist are sore, the skin on my right knee doesn’t want anything to touch it, and one of my ab muscles hurts. No swelling, though, and all of my joints work right with no pain. I just feel like someone put me in a box and shipped me through the US mail.

This was a combo of misjudging the curb and wearing heavy work boots. The boots definitely hurt my chances of being able to stabilize my fall.

I would have preferred it happen inside the hospital, since not only was it all concrete and brick that I hit it was also freezing cold. The cold makes everything hurt worse.

A few years back I wrenched my back while slipping on some grass. But if I hadn’t tried to keep from falling I would have taken a header right into a parked car so I guess I’ll take it.

It turns out I didn’t scrape anything as bad as I thought. It was very cold when it happened so it felt like I had bloodied my knees, but it’s not that bad. I do think I have a bone bruise on my right knee though, and that sucks enough.

H e did! I have to watch out with the Green though, it’s so good that I will keep drinking it past the point of no return.

Cool. Make sure you get that shot of alcohol. Not for the wound, for the pride. Lol.
