Have you fallen recently?

[Rain Man]

We'll count a fall as anything that would mark you down in a football game. So any part of your body touches the ground other than hands or feet.

Have you gone down in the past year? We will have two categories: accidental falls and falls in sports or recreation (where one might expect to fall at some point).

Yes, tripped over the dog once.

Not recently, the last time could have been around 3-4 years ago. I raced my buddy in the street drunk and I lost my footing. Some terrible road rash lol.

1 accidental fall. Putting staging together for a drama production and I stepped backwards onto a 2x4. Lost my balance and landed on my hand. Jacked up my wrist for a little while but nothing major.

In the past 12 months, I have no falls that I can remember. I've almost gone down a time or two on runs where I tripped on something, but I didn't go down.

As far as I can remember, I've had three falls in the past five years:

1. During a trail race, I tripped on a rock and went down hard off the trail. That one drew blood in a couple of places, and I still had a couple of miles to finish the race.
2. I wore socks on a carpeted staircase and slipped, going down. That one wasn't fun, but wasn't serious other than jamming a toe against a door frame.
3. I feel going up some stairs when I caught my toe on a step. That one didn't do anything but annoy me since my hands were full.

I slipped on some black ice and fell carrying my daughter in her removable infant car seat. Fortunately I was able to set the car seat on its bottom, so she barely got jostled at all. I fell again last winter pushing a car into one of our bays to be worked on. I slipped on the ice and nailed my face on the bumper. Definitely not my most graceful moment, but Red Wings are not ice proof lol.

Oh, dang. You reminded me. I took two spills on the ice last winter, which may be my first two ice falls ever. I totally forgot about that. In one instance I think my head was the first thing to hit the ground and I was amazed at how fast it happened. The second time I had a suitcase in tow and couldn't catch myself, and the ice ended up shearing off some skin on one of my fingers. I showed up at work bloodied.

I fell trying to get over that stupid ****ing vinyl fence the Cheefs put up because they are money hungry sunsabitches

As y'all may know, it gets icy up here in Canada. Especially around January where I'm from (Toronto) temperature peaks around -25.....It's not that bad though here compared to other cities or provinces across the great white north. Manitoba, Yukon, North West territories and yeah I've been to those places; it could get up to -40 with the wind chill. If you stand outside for 5-10 minutes without the proper attire, you're definately asking for a frost bite.

Anyway, to get to the point, last year I was shovelling my driveway and slipped on a big piece of ice about 30" in diameter and landed right on my tail bone. Hurt like a sumbitch but surprisingly didn't break or fracture any bones around that area.

I was coming out of westport in an alley and it was slick I fell right on my elbow. It hurt so bad I threw up. A cop came over because he thought I was all about harpo's 25 cent draws, but then I explained what I did and he shot me. Thats what i get for being black

Rough go yo bro, but it happens

I was walking down some stairs in Cannes, France coming out of some night club. Wasn't actually very inebriated but turned around to say something to my buddy and missed a step. I went flying and nailed my knee HARD into the pavement. Hurt like a bitch!

Of course being a tough guy (and from embarrassment), I got up right away - bad idea. I passed out! (Does this now count as two falls?)

Not my greatest moment. 3 months later and I still have a some pain when putting pressure on that spot of my knee.
