I had a drum that was stored on a huge wardrobe and was pretty unstable. One day, as i opened the wardrobe, the drum fell on my head. I laugh about it today because fortunately, the wound was not as severe as i though at first.

I fell down concrete steps and rolled into it and came back on my feet relatively unscathed. That reminds me also about a car accident I was in. Was in the left lane of a multi lane highway and a guy made a left lane change into my rear bumper (really closer to my center but I noticed and tried to speed up and honky but still got clipped). My cars back slipped left such that my care pointed forward. Another car slammed into my right side front flipping me onto the left side of the car and pointing me forward again but my momentum mainly stayed going to the right hand ditch which I eventually got to and then my vehicle flipped back upright do to the ditch decline. I was injured but again relative to what just happened and Im throwing this in but just to be clear it was a really aweful experience for not just me but many other people and other people got seriously injured. I just lucked the fuck out.

I wasn't paying attention walking along the sidewalk and tripped over a step. I tried to pull my other foot forward to catch myself, and that foot got hung up on the step too.

I ended up doing a forward roll and landed on my feet.

I had been taking karate classes with my kids, but I didn't know I actually learned anything.

A while later I saw they had put large concrete planters next to the step, so I don't think I was the only one to trip.

yeah I had taken judo as a ked so I went into a forward rolling fall. Its one of my things I tell someone asking for an opinion on a martial art to take. Im like you may never get into a fight and most people I assume don't want to. But we all fall and thats pretty usefull.

Yeah, that concrete step is the only time I've ever been attacked in the street, and I survived!
