I was walking out to my Trailblazer and fell hard, hit my head against the ground. I didn't get a concussion, but holy shit things were fuzzy for a few seconds. If that were a punch, it would have at least been an 8 count. FML.  |

Similar to a certain 'spill' in a certain 'stadium' awhile back?

My previous spill was on an incline, so it helped with my drunken fall.
This fall was my feet completely going out from under me.
Is there any animal better than a monkey?

They thought they were allright then BAM, your fucking dead. If that happens to you, can I have your bags set? |

Did the same thing two years ago. I was fucking parallel to the ground 4 feet off of it. People can end up dead or brain damaged from that shit. I landed on my back. The force of impact was so great that I had bad aching pain in my shoulders and my chest. The force traveled through my body like a shockwave. Scary. It took about a month to get right again.
You best monitor yourself closely. Any hint of trouble, hit the ER.
Oh...the solution is YakTrax. Work like a charm.

I saw those Yak Trax at Dahl's the other day...didn't think much of it until I whacked my head.
Luckily, I think my hip absorbed most of the damage...it's kind of hurting. 300 pounds (of course of pure muscle) hitting the ground is quite an impact.

I did fall almost completely and fully on my back 3 years ago while skiing at Wilmot, IL.
Walking down an incline in my ski boots, icy, and didn't grab a rail and bam....straight down onto my back...I feel your pain Itheus.

The last time I slipped and fell on the ice I ended up with a broken leg and 16 weeks in a cast. I guess a sore butt really isn't so bad then is it?

I fell 3 years ago walking out of a bar in Johnston. Stopped in for a few after work with some friends. Had 4 beers and left. It was February and nice during the day, but that thawed out shit re-froze at night. Hit a patch of ice and the first thing to hit the ground was the back of my skull. I had a knot the size of an orange on the back of my head. My friends took me to the ER, I had a mild concussion from that fucker.
To this day that remains the most expensive 4 beers of my life. I really wish I could say I was hammered.

I really wish I could say I was hammered. Stukat and I went to GT's one day to watch an Iowa Basketball game. I fell on some ice (and was hammed from these drinks called "fuck ya's). But that time I fell on my face and was all bloodied up. Stukat pretty much had to drag me home, and the wife was convinced I got in a fight. Ah...memories. |
