Total bad falls in your lifetime?

[Imogene]

I spent a lot of years re-schooling horses other people ruined, so I’ve had more falls than I can count, including a couple where the horse decided to go down with me.

Then there was a couple of doozies off the snowmobile.

Three concussions — two of them a miracle I can still think

OK here so far….

College age, fell out of a tree resulting in a concussion. No broken bones.

As a single digit kid living in the Sacramento urban hills, oak trees were everywhere. At least before all the vast housing projects bulldozed it all. We kids climbed oak trees everywhere that was a huge sport. And that includes to heights any fall could be lethal. As an adult, I've extensively backpacked in the Sierra Nevada, especially away from trails where there are frequently places like with large boulder talus where even a single fall could be lethal. And ski Tahoe recreational moguls every winter, where I do occasionally fall. The last fall a few years ago didn't seem that bad initially but required over 5 months before I could lift my right arm above my head. The above noted, have never broken any bones.

I've measured my length, face down and face up, quite a few times but never any damage done so they don't count. My bone density is good but even so, as an octogenarian I am more careful these days to avoid falling.

In 5th grade, I broke my right arm in PE running to first base when a small white dog ran in front of me and tripped me.
Broke my collar bone about 2 years ago when I was looking up at the sky and tripped over an uneven sidewalk in my neighborhood.

I've had a few falls over the years but never broke any bones, oh, except when I was about 11 years old and fell off the top rung
of the gate, waiting for the postman, and broke my middle finger of my right hand. Thought I'd get a couple of weeks off from
school, but my mother said it wasn't necessary.

My three most painful falls were:

Tripping on the curb causing me to fall-face first and land on the pavement with bridge of my nose and breaking it.

Slipping on some sidewalk ice and slamming my right hip joint into the pavement..

Slipping with my left foot and submerging my right foot into extremely hot bathtub water and being unable to remove it for about twenty agonizing seconds because of lack of traction.

hmm. Yeah, that might explain it. ()

I've wondered about it many times, Frank. @Murrmurr
